1. Explain why setting x = 0 allows you to find the y-intercept of a linear equation.

2. Describe the steps you would take to find both the x- and y-intercepts of the equation -4x + 8y = 24.

3. Find the x- and y-intercepts of the equation y = 7x - 14. Show your work and explain what the intercepts represent on the graph.
