1. Intercepts of a Line
Intercepts are the points at which the graph intersects the x-axis or the y-axis.
Since an intercept intersects the x-axis or the y-axis, then an intercept has zero as either its x-coordinate or its y-coordinate.
y-intercepts
x-intercepts
The point (x, 0) is an x-intercept of the graph of an equation if it is a solution point of the equation.
The point (0, y) is a y-intercept of the graph of an equation if it is a solution point of the equation.
Looks like these intercepts should be pretty easy to find.

2. Finding Intercepts of a Graph
Let’s take a look at how we go about finding x-intercepts and y-intercepts.
x-intercepts
y-intercepts
To find the x-intercepts of a graph, let y be zero and solve the equation for x.
To find the y-intercepts of a graph, let x be zero and solve the equation for y.
That sounds pretty easy to me.
