1)

The x-intercept is the where the function (line) crosses the x-axis.

 

2)

All points have two numbers (x, y), that define their location on the coordinate plane.

To find the coordinate of the y-intercept, substitute x = into the equation and then solve for the y variable.

 

3)

The coordinates for the x-intercept is (x, ).

 

4)

The coordinates for the y-intercept is ( , y).

 

5)

In Standard Form of a linear equation:   

the criteria stated that .     This simply means that A must be a integer or zero.

 

6)

The greatest common factor (GCF) of the equation,   ,  is not 1.

Therefore, to get the equation into standard form, I must divide both sides of the equation by .
