The coordinate of the intercept.

Any linear equation in the form has a slope of , a -intercept of , and a -intercept of .

The phrase "the quadrant in which the line lies" is meaningless. There is no such thing as a line that lies in only one quadrant. Horizontal lines and vertical lines lie in exactly two quadrants. Lines that pass through the origin actually lie in all four quadrants if you consider that the origin point exists in all four quadrants simultaneously. All other lines lie in three of the 4 quadrants.
