The intercepts are the points where the graph of a line intersect the axes. The intercept is the point where the line crosses the axis, and the intercept is the point where the line crosses the axis.

To find the -coordinate of the intercept, substitute 0 for in the equation and solve for the value of . This value is then the in the intercept point . Then go back to the orginal equation and substitute 0 for and solve for the resulting value of to obtain the -coordinate of the -intercept.
