Explain how to determine the x- and y- intercepts of a line from a given equation in y = mx + b form.

Step-by-step explanation:

x-intercept:  Set y = 0 and solve for x:

 0 = mx + b, or mx = -b, or x = -b/m.  x-intercept is then (-b/m, 0)

y-intercept:  Set x = 0 and solve for y:  y = m(0) + b, or y = b.  y-intercept is then

 (0, b).

pay attention in your classes and concentrate the best thing you can do to raise your test scores is to pay attention when you're supposed to be learning the material: in class!

take good notes.

do your homework.

use mnemonics and other tricks.

do practice tests.

note: the best i know.
