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.
