🛎️ Finding Intercepts from an Equation
- For y = 200 − 50x, setting x = 0 gives a y-intercept of 200.
- Setting y = 0 and solving 0 = 200 − 50x gives the x-intercept of 4.
🛎️ Intersections of Linear Equations
- An intersection is the point where two lines meet.
- At the intersection, both equations have the same x and y values.
🛎️ Finding the Intersection Point
- Set the two equations equal to each other to find x.
- Put the value of x back into any equation to find y.
