CODE Name Date Teacher Challenge Another View The intercepts of a line are the points where the line crosses the coordinate axes. When an equation was in standard form, you found the intercepts by setting one variable and then the other equal to zero. 1. Find the intercepts of the line whose equation is 3x + 5y = 15. For the x-intercept, For the y-intercept, let y = 0. let x = 0. The x-intercept is. The y-intercept is. When an equation is in standard form, you can also find the intercepts by dividing both sides by the constant (on the right side). 2. Divide both sides of the equation 3x + 5y = 15 by 15, and simplify. Compare the results to those obtained in Question 1. 3. Using b to represent the y-intercept and a to represent the x-intercept, write an equation that generalizes the observation you made in Question 2. 4. a. Using the form of the equation you wrote in Question 3, find the intercepts of the linear equation 2x + 3y = 24. The x-intercept is and the y-intercept is. b. Check your result by using the first method to find the intercepts.
