• x-intercept
• Standard form of a linear equation
Standard Form
Another way to determine whether a function is linear is to look
at its equation. A function is linear if it is described by a linear
equation. A linear equation is any equation that can be written in
the standard form shown below.
Standard Form
Notice that when a linear equation is written in standard
form.
Ax  By C
•x
and y are both on the same side of the equal sign.
•x
and y both have exponents of 1.
•x
and y are not multiplied together.
• x and y do not appear in denominators, exponents, or radical
signs.
Axial Intercepts
A y-intercept is the y-coordinate of
any point where a graph intersects
the y-axis. The x-coordinate of this
point is always 0.
An x-intercept is the x-coordinate of
any point where a graph intersects
the x-axis. The y-coordinate of this
point is always 0.
Example: Finding Intercepts
From a Graph
Find the x- and y-intercepts.
The graph intersects the y-axis
at (0, 1).
The y-intercept is 1.
The graph intersects the xaxis at (–2, 0).
The x-intercept is –2.
Example: Intercepts From Equation
Find the x- and y-intercepts.
5x – 2y = 10
To find the x-intercept, replace y with 0
and solve for x.
5x – 2y = 10
5x – 2(0) = 10
5x – 0 = 10
5x = 10
x=2
The x-intercept is 2.
To find the y-intercept, replace x with 0
and solve for y.
5x – 2y = 10
5(0) – 2y = 10
0 – 2y = 10
–2y = 10
y = –5
The y-intercept is –5.
Your Turn:
Find the x- and y-intercepts.
The graph intersects the yaxis at (0, 3).
The y-intercept is 3.
The graph intersects the xaxis at (–2, 0).
The x-intercept is –2.
Your Turn:
Find the x- and y-intercepts.
–3x + 5y = 30
To find the x-intercept, replace y with 0
and solve for x.
–3x + 5y = 30
–3x + 5(0) = 30
–3x – 0 = 30
–3x = 30
x = –10
The x-intercept is –10.
To find the y-intercept, replace x with 0
and solve for y.
–3x + 5y = 30
–3(0) + 5y = 30
0 + 5y = 30
5y = 30
y=6
The y-intercept is 6.
Your Turn:
Find the x- and y-intercepts.
4x + 2y = 16
To find the x-intercept, replace y with 0
and solve for x.
4x + 2y = 16
4x + 2(0) = 16
4x + 0 = 16
4x = 16
x=4
The x-intercept is 4.
To find the y-intercept, replace x
with 0 and solve for y.
4x + 2y = 16
4(0) + 2y = 16
0 + 2y = 16
2y = 16
y=8
The y-intercept is 8.
Graphing Using Standard
Form
For any two points, there is exactly one line that contains
them both. This means you need only two ordered pairs to
graph a line.
It is often simplest to find the ordered pairs that contain the x
and y intercepts.
The x and y intercepts can easily be found from standard
form. Therefore, to graph a linear equation in standard form,
use the x and y intercepts.
Example: Graphing Standard
Form
Use intercepts to graph the line given by the equation.
3x – 7y = 21
Step 1 Find the intercepts.
x-intercept:
3x – 7y = 21
3x – 7(0) = 21
3x = 21
x=7
y-intercept:
3x – 7y = 21
3(0) – 7y = 21
–7y = 21
y = –3
Example: Continued
x-intercept: x = 7 and y-intercept: y = -3
Step 2 Graph the line.
Plot (7, 0) and (0, –3).
x
Connect with a straight line.
Example: Graphing Standard
Form
Use intercepts to graph the line given by the equation.
y = –x + 4
Step 1 Write the equation in standard form.
y = –x + 4
+x +x
x+y=4
Add x to both sides.
Example: Continued
x+y=4
Step 2 Find the intercepts.
x-intercept:
x+y=4
x+0=4
x=4
y-intercept:
x+y=4
0+y=4
y=4
Example: Continued
x-intercept: x = 4 and y-intercept: y = 4
Step 3 Graph the line.
Plot (4, 0) and (0, 4).
Connect with a straight line.
Your Turn:
Use intercepts to graph the line given by the equation.
–3x + 4y = –12
Step 1 Find the intercepts.
x-intercept:
y-intercept:
–3x + 4y = –12
–3x + 4y = –12
–3x + 4(0) = –12
–3x = –12
–3(0) + 4y = –12
4y = –12
x=4
y = –3
Your Turn: Continued
x-intercept: x = 4 and y-intercept: y = -3
Step 2 Graph the line.
Plot (4, 0) and (0, –3).
Connect with a straight line.
Your Turn:
Use intercepts to graph the line given by the equation.
Step 1 Write the equation in standard form.
Multiply both sides by 3, the LCD of the
fractions, to clear the fraction.
3y = x – 6
–x + 3y = –6
Write the equation in standard form.
Your Turn: Continued
–x + 3y = –6
Step 2 Find the intercepts.
x-intercept:
–x + 3y = –6
–x + 3(0) = –6
–x = –6
y-intercept:
–x + 3y = –6
–(0) + 3y = –6
3y = –6
x=6
y = –2
Your Turn: Continued
x-intercept: x = 6 and y-intercept: y = -2
Step 3 Graph the line.
Plot (6, 0) and (0, –2).
Connect with a straight line.
