to find the y-intercept you plug in your x and y values in to the equation of y=mx+b. b is the y intercept and m is the slope.
To find the x-intercept, set y = 0, and find value of x that satisfies the equation. If it is a line in the form y=mx+b, then the x-intercept will be at x= -b/m

How do you find the x and y-intercept of the line for the equation 2x 3y-18?
2x = 3y - 18At the x-intercept, y = 0 :2x = -18x = -9At the y-intercept, x = 0 :3y - 18 = 03y = 18y = 6
How would you find the equation of a line if you were given the slope and the y-intercept?
y = {slope}x + {y intercept}
Does a parabola have to have an x-intercept?
No, a parabola does not have to have an x-intercept. ex. -2(x-2)^2 - 4 is a parabola that has no x-intercept.
What is the x intercept and the y intercept of x-9y equals 18?
x - 9y = 18At the x-intercept, y=0 :x = 18At the y-intercept, x=0 :-9y = 18-y = 2y = -2
