You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a x-intercept is a point in the equation where the y-value is zero
and y-intercept is a point on the graph where x is zero
2x-y=+0
x-intercept:
2x-0=+0
2x=+0

x=+0.......x-intercept is at (0,0)
y-intercept:
2x-y=+0
2%2A0-y=+0
0-y=+0
y=+0................y-intercept is at (0,0)
+graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2x%29+



and x-3=+0+.....note that y=0
x-intercept:
x-3=+0+
x=3+..this is vertical line, parallel to y-axis%7D%7D.....%7B%7B%7Bx-intercept is at (3,0)

so, there is no y-intercept for the equation of a line that is vertical
