Finding X And Y Intercepts On Graphing Calculator
Using a graphing calculator is a fast and effective way to identify the x and y intercepts of a function.
Finding x and y intercepts on graphing calculator. Clear out any existing equations. To find the y intercept substitute x 0 and solve for y. Show instructions in general you can skip the multiplication sign so 5x is equivalent to 5 x. Using the built in tools allows you to find the intercepts without doing the algebra.
The calculator will find the x and y intercepts of the given function expression or equation. Finally graph the equation use and re use box 3 and compare. Then visualize sketch the graph. To find the x intercept using the straight line equation substitute y 0 and solve for x.
Press the y button on the calculator.
