Since I can't view or access uploaded images directly, I can’t see the specific graphs in your worksheet. However, I can guide you through how to
identify the x- and y-intercepts from a graph and write them as ordered pairs.

🔍 What are x- and y-intercepts?
- The
x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the
x-axis (where $ y = 0 $).
- The
y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the
y-axis (where $ x = 0 $).
Each intercept is written as an
ordered pair:
- x-intercept: $ (x, 0) $
- y-intercept: $ (0, y) $

✔ Steps to Solve:
1. Look at the graph of the line.
2. Find where the line crosses the
x-axis → that’s the
x-intercept.
3. Find where the line crosses the
y-axis → that’s the
y-intercept.
4. Write both as ordered pairs.

Let me walk through an example based on typical problems like this:
---
#### Example (Imagine Graph #1):
Suppose the line crosses:
- The
x-axis at $ x = -2 $ → so x-intercept is $ (-2, 0) $
- The
y-axis at $ y = 1 $ → so y-intercept is $ (0, 1) $
✔ Answer:
- x-intercept: $ (-2, 0) $
- y-intercept: $ (0, 1) $

Now, since you have
6 graphs, I’ll give you a general approach for each one. If you describe the graphs or tell me the coordinates where they cross the axes, I can help you solve each one.
But here's how you should do it yourself:
---
📌 For Each Graph (1–6):
1.
Find where the line crosses the x-axis → that’s your
x-intercept.
- Example: if it crosses at $ x = 3 $, then x-intercept is $ (3, 0) $
2.
Find where the line crosses the y-axis → that’s your
y-intercept.
- Example: if it crosses at $ y = -2 $, then y-intercept is $ (0, -2) $
---
💡 Tips:
- The
x-axis is horizontal (bottom-to-top), so look for where the line hits the bottom or top edge of the grid at $ y = 0 $.
- The
y-axis is vertical (left-to-right), so look for where the line hits the left or right edge at $ x = 0 $.
- Use the grid lines to count units.

If you can describe each graph (e.g., "Graph 1 goes through (-2,0) and (0,1)") or send a text description of the points, I can give you the exact answers for all six.
Would you like to describe the graphs now?
