The first thing to do is to learn correct terminology. It is not possible for an intercept to be a number. Intercepts are points. Presuming that you are working in , then points are denoted by ordered pairs. All -intercepts in have the form . In the case of your problem, , the -coordinate of the -intercept, is .

The slope-intercept form is

Step 1: Write in pencil.

Step 2: Erase the .

Step 3: Write in place of the you just erased.

Step 4: Erase the

Step 5: Write in place of the you just erased.

Done.
