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.
