Example Question #41 : How To Find X Or Y Intercept

Find the y-intercept of the line $\frac{1}{2}x+9y=18$ .

Possible Answers:

(0, 4)

(0, 2)

(0, -2)

(0, 1)

Correct answer:

(0, 2)

Explanation:

Recall that at the y-intercept, the line crosses the y-axis. This means that at the y-intercept, the value of the x-coordinate is .

Plug in for into the equation to find the y-intercept.

$\frac{1}{2}x+9y=18$

$\frac{1}{2}(0)+9y=18$

9y=18

y=2

The y-intercept for this line is (0, 2) .

Example Question #46 : How To Find X Or Y Intercept

Find the x-intercept of the line 12x-8y=12 .

Possible Answers:

(-1, 0)

$\left(\frac{3}{4}, 0\right)$

(1, 0)

$(\frac{3}{2}, 0)$

Correct answer:

(1, 0)

Explanation:

Recall that an x-intercept occurs when the line crosses the x-axis. Thus, the y-coordinate of the x-intercept must be .

Plug in for the y-value.

12x-8y=12

12x-8(0)=12

12x=12

x=1

The x-intercept is located at (1, 0) .

Example Question #47 : How To Find X Or Y Intercept

Find the x-intercept of the line $-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{5}y=\frac{1}{16}$ .

Possible Answers:

$\left(-\frac{1}{12},0\right)$

$\left(-\frac{1}{8}, 0\right)$

$\left(-\frac{1}{4}, 0\right)$

(-1, 0)

Correct answer:

$\left(-\frac{1}{4}, 0\right)$

Explanation:

Recall that an x-intercept occurs when the line crosses the x-axis. Thus, the y-coordinate of the x-intercept must be .

Plug in for the y-value.

$-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{5}y=\frac{1}{16}$

$-\frac{1}{4}x-\frac{1}{5}(0)=\frac{1}{16}$

$-\frac{1}{4}x=\frac{1}{16}$

$x=-\frac{1}{4}$

The x-intercept is located at $\left(-\frac{1}{4}, 0\right)$ .
