Watch Video on The Intercept Method – Algebra Help
Access full lesson containing this video at: http://www.yourteacher.com/algebra1/interceptmethod.php Students learn to graph a given linear equation using the intercept method. The x-intercept is the point on the graph where the line crosses the x-axis, so the x-intercept will always have a y-coordinate of 0, and the y-intercept is the point on the graph where the line crosses the y-axis, so the y-intercept will always have an x-coordinate of 0. So to graph x + 2y = 6 using the intercept method, substitute a 0 in for y to find the x-intercept, to get x + 2(0) = 6, or x = 6. So the x-intercept is (6, 0). And substitute a 0 in for x to find the y-intercept, to get (0) + 2x = 6, or x = 3. So the y-intercept is (0, 3). Next, plot the intercepts, (6, 0) and (0, 3), and connect these points with a line.

gahh this is so …
gahh this is so much better than my algebra teacher!
February 20th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
i think it can …
i think it can iether be b or c…but we in the UK use C
February 20th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
no its b
no its b
February 20th, 2010 at 11:32 pm
y=mx+c
y=mx+c

Shes right but …
Shes right but thats in standard from
slope intercept is much easier to work with

my algebra teacher …
my algebra teacher taught us to do it this way
Formula=
Ax-or+By=C, so the a is always infront of the x and b infront of the y, leaving c to substitute the 0.

but i thought he …
but i thought he should add the -6 to the y equation to get 6 = 2 and come up to 3

I think he’s hot …
I think he’s hot and he helped me out!

the formula is y=mx …
the formula is y=mx+b

Whoa! Tell your …
Whoa! Tell your principle to tell your English teacher that you need extra hours being tutored in English!
You evidently, and seriously need tutoring!
I doubt the guy in this video feels bad(don’t even bother commenting).
