Where does the line cross?

Tap the y-intercept (crosses y-axis)
Tap the x-intercept (crosses x-axis)

Finding intercepts algebraically

To find where the line crosses an axis, the other coordinate must be zero.

Find y-intercept

Set x = 0

0

Find x-intercept

Set y = 0

0
Drag to substitute
0

Dial in the intercepts

{{s3.xVal}}

{{s3.yVal}}

Graph using intercepts

Click the axes to place the two intercept pins.

y-int: {{s4.yPin !== null ? s4.yPin : '?'}}
x-int: {{s4.xPin !== null ? s4.xPin : '?'}}
