Question 767519
An axis intercept is the coordinate on the axis which intersects with or shares a point on the line.  This then is the description about which you asked.


Ax+By=C standard form for a line equation.


Let x=0.  What is y?  
A*0+By=C
0+By=C
y=C/B
The y-intercept is (0, C/B)


Let y=0:  What is x?
Ax+B*0=C
Ax=C
x=C/A
The x-intercept is (C/A, 0)
