Find the intercepts and graph a line from any form, including horizontal and vertical lines
Grade 9 Math Worksheet - Building Confidence

Circle the best answer, or write your answer on the line.
The line is 3x + 2y = 18. Zee's line is 3x + 2y = 18. Covering the 2y term leaves 3x = 18. What is the x-intercept?
The line is 2x + 5y = 20. Milo's line is 2x + 5y = 20. Covering the 2x term leaves 5y = 20. What is the y-intercept?
The line is 6x + 5y = 60. Bo's line is 6x + 5y = 60. Covering the 5y term leaves 6x = 60. What is the x-intercept?
The line is 3x + 6y = 42. Pia's line is 3x + 6y = 42. Covering the 3x term leaves 6y = 42. What is the y-intercept?
