Graphing Lines & Finding Intercepts 1

After defining intercept, Sal solves a simple equation to identify each intercept and then plots the line on a graph. This video would quite nicely complement an introductory lesson on graphing.

Given a linear equation in standard form, find the x-intercept and y-intercept. In this video, Sal shows how to set x = 0 and solve the y-intercept and how to set y = 0 and find the x-intercepts.

Here is an introductory lesson to help you understand the slope of a line, whether positive or negative and the y-intercept's meaning. Several examples of changes in slope are shown on a graph, and the instructor relates them to how the...

The instructor uses a computer graphing program to illustrate how a line changes slope by manipulating the slope values in the equation. He also manipulates the y-intercept value to see where the line crosses the y-axis.

Looking to teach your class how to find the y-intercept of a line using another point and the slope? Consider this video as an instructional tool. Learners can watch as a lecturer demonstrates how to find the y-intercept, using the...

The x-intercept is the point at which the line of the equation crosses the x-axis. The y-intercept is the point at which the line of the same equation crosses the y-axis. It's as easy as that. Look at your graph and note these locations.

Given a linear equation, find the x-intercept and the y-intercept to graph the line. Not sure what to do or where to start? Watch this video and see the instructor break it down and make it understandable.

Find the x and y intercepts in a given linear equation written in slope intercept form. Piece of cake! There are just two things to do. First, substitute 0 for x and solve to find the y-value. Then substitute 0 for y to find the value of...
