Algebra Lesson 2.7: Finding the x and y Intercepts of a Linear Equation

Practice Exercises:

Find the $x$ and $y$ intercepts of the following equations:

1. $x + 2y = 2$

2. $4x - 3 y = 7$

3. $\frac{1}{2}x + \frac{3}{4} y = \frac{2}{3}$

4. $y = 3x-4$

5. $y = \frac{1}{2}x -3$

Use the following graph to answer questions 6 and 7

6. Estimate the $x$ and $y$ intercepts of the green line.

7. Estimate the $x$ and $y$ intercepts of the blue line.
