You can graph the line and read out from the graph where the line intersects the X and Y axes. You can input values for Y until you find one that gives an X = 0 and input X values until you find one that gives a Y = 0 (This is the same as setting either X equal to zero and solving the equation the setting Y = 0 and solving)

How to find the x-intercepts when there is no y?
If there is no y, then the equation is of the form x = c where c is some constant value. And so the line intercepts the x axis at (c,0).
Find the slope and intercepts of each line y equals -x plus 1000?
Slope: -1 intercepts: (0,1000),(1000,0)
When can finding the x and y intercepts help you graph a line more efficiently?
If it's a straight line, then that's all you need. Find the 'x' and 'y' intercepts,lay your ruler down between the two points, and draw your line.
What is the meaning of x and y intercepts?
The x-intercept is defined by where a line crosses the x-axis. The y-intercept is defined by where a line crosses the y-axis.
What is the x-intercept for y equals 5x - 10?
-5
