The graph of a linear function may cross either the x-axis, the y-axis, or both axes.

Intercepts
• The x-intercept is the x-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the x-axis.
• The y-intercept is the y-coordinate of the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

Identify the x- and y-intercepts.

The y-intercept and x-intercept can be used to graph a linear equation.
• To find the x-intercept, let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x.
• To find the y-intercept, let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

Find the x-intercept and the y-intercept for each equation. Then graph the equation.
x + 2y = 4 y = 3x - 6

Some linear equations have just one variable. Their graphs are horizontal or vertical lines.
