Examples
1 Complete the tables. 2 Read off the x- and y-intercepts for
a y = 2x b x+y=5 each line.

y 0 2 4 y 5 4 3 2
1 1
(Multiply the (The x- and y-
x-value by 2.) values add to 5.) −3 −2 1 2 3 4 x
−1
c y = 3x − 12 −2

x 0 4 x = 0: y = 3 × 0 − 12 −3
∴ y = −12
y −12 0
y = 0: 0 = 3x − 12 Line 1: x-intercept = 3, y-intercept = −2
(Substitute when 3x = 12 Line 2: x-intercept = 2, y-intercept = 1
x = 0 and y = 0.) ∴x=4

Exercise
