x and y can be used to determine many things. For math, for instance, they are used for variables as to isolate the variable term and variables in expressions and equations. The x any y in math can be plugged in with the numbers that are provided in the question. Now for science, they are also used as variables. If you are making a graph to represent data, you are always going to need an x and y variable. In Science, x is the independent variable which means its variation does not depend on that of another. Y is the dependent variable, wich means whose value depends on that of another. For example, if you wanted to make a graph on losing weight over time, x would be the time(days or something like that) and y would be how much weight lost. Like how many pounds.

What if you cant do find the x intercepts?
Then there is no x-intercept. No big deal. Lots of functions do not have x- intercepts. For example, y = x2 + 1 or y = 2x
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).
How do you find the x and y intersepts?
plug in 0 to x and y values P.S. you spelt Intercepts wrong
How do you find the intercepts to the equation x2 plus y-49 equals 0?
x2 + y - 49 = 0At the x-intercepts, y=0:x2 - 49 = 0(x+7)(x-7) = 0x = -7 and x = +7At the y-intercept, x=0:y - 49 = 0y = 49General Solutionset x=0 to find your y-intercept and set y=0 to find your x-intercept. That's how you will always find your intercepts, no matter what the equation is.Ex. So if you find that when x=0, y=a, then the y-intercept is at the point (0,a).Similarly, if you find that when y=0, x=b, then the x-intercept is at the point (b,0).You can solve any problem from here.
How do you find x- and y- intercepts given a graph?
by shoving it up your booty
