The x-intercept is the x value for the point where the line intersects the x-axis, which is the line . Just substitute into your equation and solve for x.
The y-intercept is the y value for the point where the line intersects the y-axis, which is the line . Just substitute into your equation and solve for y.
Equation is tailor-made for finding intercepts.
