if you are looking at a graph the y intercept is when the graph crosses the y axis and the x intercept is when the graph crosses the x axis.
if you have a formula... plug zero in for x to find the y intercept, and plug zero in for y to find the x intercept

In the equation y = f(x), Put x = 0 and solve for y. Those are the y intercepts. Put y = 0 and solve for x. Those are the x intercepts.
The x coordinate for all y intercepts is 0, just as the y coordinate for all x intercepts is 0.
The x and y intercepts are where a line on a graph intersects (crosses over) the x or y axis.
I believe that you need an equation to solve for the x and y intercepts.
If "a" is negative then the graph is a cap. Find the x intercepts. Average the two x intercepts and substitute that into the equation it will give you the y.
