Another important property of a line (or any curve on a coordinate plane) are its x- and y-intercepts: the points where the line intersects coordinate axes. Watch this lecture series and complete the interactive exercises.
Intercepts from a graph - Questions

1.
The -intercept is the point where the graph intersects the
-axis. Since the
-axis is also the line
