You can put this solution on YOUR website!
e.g. the gravitational force between two different planets (where x is the distance between the centers, and y is the force). There is no y-intercept because this would imply that two planets are at the same point in space, and there is no x-intercept because the planets would have to be infinitely far for there to be zero gravitational force.
