The

-intercept is a point with coordinates

which is the value that

assumes when

So, to find the

-coordinate of the

-intercept, set

to zero and solve the resulting single-variable equation for

.

So you would solve:

for

and then replace

in

with that value giving you your

-intercept.

Finding the

-intercept is the same process, except that the coordinates of the

-intercept are

and so, to find the

-coordinate of the

-intercept, set

to zero and solve the resulting single-variable equation for

.

So you would solve:

for

and then replace

in

with that value giving you your

-intercept.
