Graphing Linear Functions

Flashcards covering key concepts related to graphing linear functions, specifically focusing on identifying x-intercepts and y-intercepts.

What are the x-intercept and y-intercept of a linear function?

The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis.

How do you find the x-intercept of a linear function?

Set y equal to zero in the linear equation and solve for x.

How do you find the y-intercept of a linear function?

Set x equal to zero in the linear equation and solve for y.

What does a graph of a linear function typically look like?

A straight line that can either slope upwards, downwards, or be horizontal/vertical.
