Find x-intercepts and y-intercepts step by step

The calculator will try to find the x- and y-intercepts of the given function, expression, or equation.

Your input: find the x- and y-intercepts of $$$4 x + 5 y=15$$$

x-intercepts

Plug `y=0` into the equation and solve the resulting equation $$$4 x=15$$$ for `x` (use the equation solver).

The x-intercept:

$$$\left(\frac{15}{4},0\right)$$$

y-intercepts

Plug `x=0` into the equation and solve the resulting equation $$$5 y=15$$$ for `y` (use the equation solver).

The y-intercept:

$$$\left(0, 3\right)$$$

How do you find the x and y intercepts?

To find the x-intercept, substitute y = 0 and solve for x. To find the y-intercept, substitute x =0 and solve for y.

How do you find the x intercepts on a calculator?

Press 2nd, then CALC (above the TRACE key). Choose 2: zero. The calculator will ask you for a left bound, a right bound, and a guess for the x-intercept. You can enter these by using your left and right arrows to move the cursor to the proper x-value, then pressing ENTER.

How do you find the intercepts?

To find the x-intercept of a given linear equation, plug in 0 for 'y' and solve for 'x'. To find the y-intercept, plug 0 in for 'x' and solve for 'y'.

How do you find the x and y intercepts of a circle calculator?

The x-intercepts can be found by setting y = 0 y = 0 y=0 in the equation and solving for x (for steps, see intercepts calculator). The y-intercepts can be found by setting x = 0 x = 0 x=0 in the equation and solving for y: (for steps, see intercepts calculator).
