Revise: Straight-Line GraphsTheir different intercepts keep them apart.
A point at which a graph crosses or meets an axis.
A point at which a graph meets or crosses an axis.
Lines with the same gradient are only distinct parallel lines if their intercepts differ. Identical equations describe the same line.
Do not confuse the two intercepts: set for the -intercept and set for the -intercept.

A point where a graph meets an axis. An -intercept has ; a -intercept has .
Revise: Quadratic Graphs: Roots and Turning PointsThese features, together with the intercepts, let you make an accurate sketch without plotting a long table of values.
A point at which a graph crosses a coordinate axis.
The point where a graph crosses an axis. The -intercept of is .
Give roots as -values, but give intercepts and turning points as coordinates when coordinates are requested.
