Takes a toll where the road crosses each axis: intercepts.

Intercepts

Intercepts. In MathBound, the free Algebra I adventure game, Toll-Gate Toby asks these problems, and the only way past is to solve them.

Part of Linear Functions: chapter 5 of the standard course.

10 questions, no sign-up, nothing saved. Climbs from the basics to harder questions.

What you will practice
