-intercept cannot be a number. The

-intercept of a line is the point where the line intercepts (intersects or crosses, if you would rather) the

-axis. The word \"point\" being the operative word. A point in

is designated by an ordered pair. A

-intercept, in general terms, is an ordered pair of the form
