Learn Online Intercept

Introduction to learn online intercept:

Intercept:

Intercept of a line can be defined as a point at which a line, curve, or surface intersects an axis.

Intercept is an intercepted segment of a line.

X – Intercept:

The x-intercept is defined as the point at which the line cuts the X-axis.

The x-intercept is given as (x, 0).

Y – Intercept:

The y-intercept is defined as the point at which the line cuts the Y-axis.

The  y-intercept is given as (0, y). Is this topic Segment of a Circle hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.


Learn online intercept with examples:


A few example problems are given below to show how we can learn intercept through online.

Example: 1

Find x and y intercept of the equation 9x + 6y =18.

Solution

To find x intercept, plug y =0 in the equation and solve for x.

9x + 6y = 18

9x + 6(0) = 18

9x = 18

x = 18 / 9

x = 2

Therefore, the x-intercept = ( 2,0 ).

To find y intercept, plug x=0 in the equation and solve for y.

9x + 6y = 18

9(0) + 6y = 18

6y = 18

y = 18 /6

y = 3

Therefore, the y-intercept = (0, 3).

Example: 2

Find x and y intercept of the equation 3y = 6x + 24

Solution

To find x intercept, plug y =0 in the equation and solve for x.

3y = 6x + 24

3(0) = 6x + 24

0 = 6x + 24

-24 = 6x

-24 / 6 = x

-4 = x

x = -4

Therefore, the x-intercepts is (-4, 0)

To find y intercept, plug x=0 in the equation and solve for y.

3y = 6x + 24

3y = 6(0) + 24

3y = 0 + 24

3y = 24

y = 24/3

y = 8

Therefore, the y-intercepts is (0, 8)

I have recently faced lot of problem while learning Wavelength Calculator, But thank to online resources of math which helped me to learn myself easily on net.

Homework problems to learn online intercept:


The following homework problems helpful to learn online intercept.

Find x and y intercept for the following equations,

y = 8x + 3
3x = -y + 9
y =x - 6
12y = -4x + 3
Solutions:

1) x intercept = (-3/8, 0)

y intercept =(0, 3)

2) x intercept = (3, 0)

y intercept = (0, 9)

3) x intercept = (6, 0)

y intercept = (0, -6)

4) x intercept = (3/4, 0)

y intercept = (0, 1/4)
