a graph is a diagram displayig the relation between variable quantities.
ReplyDeleteoyher ways in saying x-intercepts are roots and factors.
ReplyDeleteyes you can determine how many x-intercepts are present by looking at the highest power of the x variable in the expression or equation. For example in the equation 7x^2 + 2x + 5, since the highest power of the x variable is 2 the graph will cut the x intercepts at 2 points.
ReplyDeletea graph is used to represent information on a diagram rather than in writing to clearer illustrate what is being said.
ReplyDeletea graph is a comparison between two thing which a related to each other, they have something in common.
ReplyDeletethe y axis is the varible that is changing and the x axis is the variable you are manipulating
example
a distance vs time graph u use it to find speed
the time is constant the distance will change it exist in period in this eg in one period of time 2m will be cover while in an other period 3m will be cover the speed determine it
change in distance/ change in time
also call the gradient of the above graph
A graph is a diagram showing the relationship between to things that are related to each other.It can be represented by a curve or a straight line.
ReplyDeletekey things to look for in a graph are:-
ReplyDelete.if it is increasing or decreasing
.the shape of the graph (straight line/ curve)
.the start and end point
.where it cuts the x intercept.
some other ways to say x intercept are factor or roots.

ReplyDeleteA graph is used to present facts in visual form. They are a drawing that displays the relative sizes of numerical quantities. A graph is one of the easiest ways to compare numbers.
ReplyDeleteGraphs can be used to illustrate many types of data and are not limited to the simpler types such as line, bar, and circle. They should be used to make facts clearer and more understandable.
ReplyDeletethings to look for in a graph are: is the graph straight or curved, what is the dependent variable?
ReplyDeletea graph gives every point its own gradient
ReplyDeletea graph shows a starting point, that is the y intercept
ReplyDeleteanother way of saying x intercept is y intercept is equal 2 zero
ReplyDeletea graph is an easy way to acquire information quickly.
ReplyDeletei agree with misty.
ReplyDeletea graph can also show a starting point, which is the y intercept.
the key things ilook 4 in a graph are the scales on both axis
ReplyDeletethe labelling on both axis and the points plotted
a graph is a diagram using straight or curve lines, bars or a circle drawn to or not to scale displaying information in a more convient way to understand
ReplyDeletea graph is used to display, interprate or convient way of recieving information instead on sheets and sheet of paper
ReplyDeleteother terms for x- intercept is root, zeros
ReplyDeletethe key points in a graph ared the starting point the endpoint the intercept the max the min the gradient

ReplyDeletea grahp is an illustration of diferences between two or more ranges/rates inwhich enables us to get information quickly
ReplyDeletea graph is used to make life easier with respect to values and quanities where the differences at every point or change being displayed
ReplyDeleteThe keps points i think are the :
ReplyDeleteconstant values/non constant
starting pt;
ending pt;
slope and
midpoint
a graph is a mathematical representation that projects accurate readings of information obtained.
ReplyDeletea graph is used to represnt information in an acurate form.
key things to look out for in a graph are scale, y-axis, x-axis, title of graph
another way of stating x-intercept is when the line cuts the x-axis at a certain point.
there can only be 1 x-intercept present
A graph is visual representation comparing two variables .
ReplyDeleteIt can be usually decoded easily by a reader.
key things to look for in a graph are x-intercepts, y-intercept , turning points.
An example of a graph is the output of a dynamometer which displays horsepower in relation to rpm and also speed. Race tuners use these graphs to extract maximum horsepower out of an engine.
ReplyDeleteGraphs are also used to display product information to the consumer such as when you buy a turbo, the cubic foot flow rate vs rpm so one can optimise ones choice to suit.
ReplyDeleteA graph is a visual representation of a group of related values.
ReplyDeletea graph is used to show the relationship between values, be it X and Y
ReplyDeletekey things to look for in a graph is a starting point, end-point, gradient or slope, X and Y-intercepts
ReplyDeleteAnother way of saying the X intercept of a graph is to say the roots of the equation of the graph.
ReplyDeleteI guess that u can determin the number of X intercepts by using an equation...or checking how many turning points the graph has
ReplyDeleteA graph is a diagram that exhibits a relationship, between two sets of numbers as a set of points having coordinates determined by the relationship. Also called plot.
ReplyDeleteA graph is an illustration which is used to summarize data and make calculations. it is a way of find out information.
ReplyDeleteGraphs are used to show information in a simplified way. It is used to show the relationship between values
ReplyDeletekey things
ReplyDeletestarting point
end point
y intercept
x intercept
straight line or curve
Another way of saying the x intercept is saying the roots or the factors.....
ReplyDeleteIn my point of view, a graph is a representation of data, by comparing one thing to another.
ReplyDeleteA graph is used for showing proportional change between two things and how they affect one another.
ReplyDeleteeh fadda wa ur mean by proportional charge
ReplyDelete260.. well, by proportional i mean that if one change, the other would have either a postitve or negative response to that change.

key things to look out for in a graph are scale, y-axis, x-axis, title of graph,scale,y-intercept
Another way of saying x-intercept is, "when y is equal to 0"....
ReplyDeleteinstead of sayin x intersept i guess you can say when y equals zero or for the y intercept you can say when x equals to zero.
ReplyDeleteA graph can be referred as a diagram that exhibits a relationship, often functional, between two sets of numbers as a set of points having coordinates determined by the relationship.

ReplyDeletekey things to look for in a graph are:
ReplyDeleteX and Y-intercepts
starting point
end-point
gradient of the graph
A graph is a diagram(drawing)which shows a relationship between two or more things.
ReplyDeletesome other ways of saying x intercept are:
ReplyDelete*roots
*factors
No u cannot determine how many x intercept a graph has present in it.
ReplyDeleteGraphs are used to display crital information for e.g from a graph, i.e making important information easyer to understand.
ReplyDeleteBecause there isn't a standard amount of times the x intercept cuts the graph. It can cut the graph several times resulting in various x intercept.
ReplyDeleteThe key things to look for in a graph are-:
ReplyDelete1) the starting point
2) the end point
3) the points of interception
4) the shape of graph
5) if it is a max or a min
Factors or roots are two other ways of saying x-intercept.

Another way of saying x-intercept is the root.
ReplyDeleteAnother way of saying x-intercept is the root.
ReplyDeleteX-intercept is also when y is = to 0.
ReplyDeleteU can check the number of x-intercepts by checking the amount of turning points.
ReplyDeleteAs all my fellow bloggers have already stated a graph is a graph is a visual representation of a data set or a mathematical equation, inequality, or function to show relationships or tendencies that these formulas can only suggest symbolically and abstractly.
ReplyDeletegraphs can also simply be a diagram that shows the changes taking place in something, by the use of connected lines, a curve or bars.
ReplyDeleteA graph is used to show a relationship between values of the X and Y axis
ReplyDeletethings to look for in a graph is the scale,is the graph straight or curved, the variable
ReplyDeletealso u can look for the gradient and the X and Y intercepts
ReplyDeleteA graph is a visual representation of a data set or a mathematical equation, inequality, or function to show relationships or tendencies that these formulas can only suggest symbolically and abstractly. Though histograms and pie charts are also graphs, the term usually applies to point plots on a coordinate system. It can be simply stated as diagram that shows the changes taking place in something, by the use of connected lines, a curve or bars.

ReplyDeletekey things to look for in a graph is:
ReplyDelete-starting point
-end point
-appropriate scale
-point of intersection
-if it is a straight line or curve
another way of saying x intercept is saying the point at which the curve or straight line cuts the x axis.
ReplyDeletethe number of x intercept depends on the number of times the graph cuts the x axis.
ReplyDeleteGraphs are a useful tool to describe data pictorially.They are used to display information so that other people can easily read it.
ReplyDeleteGraphs are used in the stock market to describe ups and downs of stocks, in the election polls to display the number of votes for different candidates, in science to describe the relationships between two different concepts,in population measurements,etc. Graphs are used everywhere.
ReplyDeletekey things that should be considered are the gradient and the y intercept, thus the equation of a line y=mx+c.In addition the turning points either a maximum or minimum, the starting point and the ending point.
ReplyDeletethe x-intercept is the point where y=o.
ReplyDeletenow by solving the equation of the graph with y terms equal to zero you can determine the number of x-intercepts there are.
ReplyDeletekey points in a graph is:
ReplyDeletethe starting an finishing point
the x intercept
the y intercept
the maximum pt
the minimum pt
the shape
points where they intersect
a graph represents a relationship between two different sets of numbers
ReplyDeletethe x intercept is the roots of the graph
ReplyDeletethe x intercept is also where the line or graph cuts the x axis
ReplyDeleteA graph is a graphical representation of data. It shows information about related things. and compares them on some scale
ReplyDeleteGraphs are used to make life easier with respect using data given to find wat u want and to find values and quanities where the differences at every point or change being displayed
ReplyDeleteThe key things to look for in a graph are:
ReplyDelete.if it is increasing or decreasing
.the shape of the graph (straight line/ curve)
.the start point
.where it cuts the x intercept.
.where it cuts the y intercapt.
.the end point
X-intercept is also known as the roots of the equation. and where y is = 0
ReplyDeleteIf the graph is a straight line, then there is only one x intercept
ReplyDeleteIf the graph is a curve. then According to how many times the curve turns. there is usually twice the amount the graph turns of x intercepts or roots
ReplyDeletethe key points in also the gradient of the graph
ReplyDeleteor when y is equal to zero it is also the x intercept
ReplyDeletea graph can also be used to show the starting point and finishing point of some thing
ReplyDeletea graph is a visual representation of data or a set of equation, inequality, or function where it shows their relationships. it is a diagram or curve representing varying relationships between sets of data. it includes bar graph, pie chart, line graph,histogram,maximum and minimim curve, frequency polygons.
ReplyDeletegraphs are used to represent data or information in a diagram form so that it is easily understood as well as it gives a clearer picture in your mind.

yes you can determine how many x-intercepts there are present in a graph.
ReplyDeleteanother way of saying x intercept is saying the roots of the graph.
ReplyDeletekey things in a graph:
ReplyDelete1)title
2)scale
3)x-axis

a graph is a representation of data and information in such a way that it is easily taken up and understood
ReplyDeletea graph is used for comparing and relating data on two axes so that it becomes information
ReplyDeletethe key things in a graph are; the shape of the graph [straight line or curve], the # of turning points, where the graph begins, where the graph ends, where(if) it cuts the x and/or y axis [x and y intercepts]
ReplyDeleteanother way to say x-intercept is the point where the graph cuts the x axis
ReplyDeletei think you can determine the # x intercepts by noting the number of lone constants in the graph's equation
ReplyDeleteA graph is a diagram that shows relationships between numbers. Graphs arrange numerical information into a picture from which it is often possible to see overall patterns or trends in the information.
ReplyDeleteThe key parts in a graph is the start point, end point, turning points, gradient and the x&y intercepts
ReplyDeletex intercept = roots= solutions
ReplyDeleteyes you can determine how many x-intercepts are present. times the graph of a quadratic function intersects the x-axis. The graph of a
ReplyDeletequadratic function can cross the x-axis at two points, one point, or no points at all. Without graphing a function, you can use factoring or the quadratic formula to determine the number of x-intercepts of that function.
The maximum number of x-intercepts equals the degree of a polynomial.
a graph is a diagram showin the relationship between variable quantities of two variables, each measured along one of a pair axes
ReplyDeletegraphs help observers see patterns and trends to numbers. They cand be apowerful tool and easily used to demonatrate differences in any given situation
ReplyDeletethee main things to look for in a graph is where the line cuts the x axes, y axes where the line intersects. If the graph is a straight line or if it has a max point or min point
ReplyDeletethree main things to look for in a graph is:
ReplyDeletescale,y intercept, turning points.
a graph is used for displaying information & solving equations.
a graph illustrates data
ReplyDeletethe most important things in a graph is:
ReplyDeletethe starting point
the ending point
weather it isa curve or a straight line
the max. and min. point
the scale
the gradient
the both intercepts
weather it is increasing or decreasing
the roots are the x intercept

ReplyDeleteA graph is a visual representation of a relationship between two variables, x and y.
ReplyDeleteA graph consists of two axes called the x (horizontal) and y (vertical) axes. These axes correspond to the variables we are relating
ReplyDeleteThe point where the two axes intersect is called the origin. The origin is also identified as the point (0, 0).
ReplyDeleteThere are different types of graphs line, bar, pie charts, histograms and picture graphs
ReplyDeletegraphs have many use to tell population growth,rainfall,death rate,stock change.graphs are used widely
ReplyDeleteThe main important point on a graph is the point of intersection, intercept and maximum and minimum points.
ReplyDeleteA Graph is a tool for examining experimental results/data were this data is represented clearly and concisely than any other means of displaying or viewing data
ReplyDeleteThe x-intercept of a line is the point at which the line crosses the x-axis.
ReplyDeleteDisplay
ReplyDeleteA graph is used to display relationships which may not be apparent from data table. It can follow these factors of usage (Identify, obtain, predict)
the x intercept can be found according to the power of the function for example 7x^2 + 2x + 5.therefore the graph wud have 2 x intercepts.
ReplyDeleteKey Things
ReplyDeleteKey things to look for in a graph is their relationship and what kind e.g. Proportional relationship/linear (A straight line is observed and passes through the origin/some other pt.)Also is their a maximum/minimum value/point.
Note: It depends on the type of graph that determines what to look for.eg. Quadratic graph- look for where graph crosses x/y axis
Other ways of saying x- intercept are roots, factors.
ReplyDeleteThere can only be a maximum of 3 (x-intercept) present on a graph.
ReplyDeleteThis may seem like a stupid question to be asking but here goes !

ReplyDeleteGraphs are used to show facts in visual form which means that they are used to represent complicated information in simple diagrams to make it understandable and clear.
ReplyDeleteThe key things to look for in a graph are the shape of the graph ,max or min,turning point (if its a curve). The points where it starts and finishes, x-intercept and y-intercept and the gradient(change in y/change in x).
ReplyDeleteSome other words for x-intercept are factors and roots.
ReplyDeletefor a quadratic graph the number of x-intercepts can be determined by factoring the quadratic equation.
ReplyDeleteFor a straight line graph the x-intercept may be determined by the solution to the polynomial equation, mx + c = 0

ReplyDeletea graph is a diagram used to obtain accurate information quickly
ReplyDeletethe key things are
ReplyDelete- the roots, or where the graph cuts the x axis.
-if it is increasing or decreasing
-if a curve, if its a maximum or minimum
-the title ofcourse, you must know what the graph is about
x- intercept.
ReplyDeletewhere the line or curve cuts the x-axis.
or the roots of the equation whether it be a curve or a straight line.
in a straight line graph, there can only be one x- intercept.
ReplyDeleteand by some eqn, you can find the roots and determine whether they would be real or not.
b^2=4ac....i cant really member..but that sounds familiar.
