X and Y Intercepts
The X intercept(s) are the point(s) on the X axis where the graph of the function crosses or touches the axis. They occur where y = 0.
The Y intercept is the point at which the graph of the function crosses the Y axis. It occurs where x = 0.
A function can have multiple X intercepts, but can only have a single Y intercept.
To find the X intercept(s), set y = 0 and solve the equation for x.
To find the Y intercept, set x = 0 and solve the equation for y.
As an example, the X and Y intercepts have been solved for a typical line in the form y = mx + b.
