Intercept method

The intercept method is a way to find where two lines cross each other on a graph. Think of it like drawing two roads on a piece of paper and trying to find where they meet.

To use the intercept method, you need to know each line's equation in the form of y = mx + b. "y" and "x" are variables that represent the points on the graph, "m" is the slope of the line, and "b" is the y-intercept, which is where the line crosses the y-axis.

Once you have the equations for both lines, you can set them equal to each other to find where they intersect. This means you're finding the point where both lines have the same value for "x" and "y".

To find the "x" value of the intersection, you can set the two equations equal to each other and solve for "x". To find the "y" value of the intersection, you can substitute the "x" value you found into either of the original equations and solve for "y".

Once you have both values, you can plot the point where the two lines intersect on the graph. This is where the two lines "meet" or "cross" each other.

In summary, the intercept method is a way to find where two lines cross each other on a graph by setting their equations equal to each other and solving for the coordinates of the intersection point.
