Intercept
Completion requirements
Another important property of a line (or any curve on a coordinate plane) are its x- and y-intercepts: the points where the line intersects coordinate axes. Watch this lecture series and complete the interactive exercises.
Intercepts from a table
1. This table gives a few \((x,y)\) pairs of a line in the coordinate plane.
| \(x\) | \(y\) |
|---|---|
| 33 | -22 |
| 52 | -33 |
| 71 | -44 |
What is the \(x\)-intercept of the line?
2. This table gives a few \((x,y)\) pairs of a line in the coordinate plane.

| -28 | -54 |
| -21 | -40 |
| -14 | -26 |
What is the \(y\)-intercept of the line?
