Now, it’s your turn! Recall what you’ve learned in Lesson 1.7.1 and accomplish the
tasks below.
1. Determine the x – and the y – intercepts of the line 䇅 䇅. Then sketch its graph.
2. Determine the x – and the y – intercepts of the line 䇅 3. Then sketch its graph.
3. Write the equation of the line, in standard form, with the given conditions:
d. The line passes through and intersects the x – and y – axes at (c, 0) and (0, c),
respectively.
4. Use the intercept form to determine the equation of the line passing through points
3
䇅 and t .
5. Use the intercept form to determine the equation of the line passing through points
3
䇅 and t .
7. The graph of a line is shown below. Determine its x – and the y – intercepts and then write the
equation of the line in general form.
3. True or False: The x – intercept of the line Ax + By = C is always equal to C. Explain your
answer.
Enrichment Activity:
Can you think of another way to derive the Intercept Form of the equation of a line aside from what is
presented in Lesson 1.7.1? Show your derivation with explanation.
KEY POINTS/SUMMARY
