To identify the x-intercept of an equation, set ( y = 0 ) and solve for ( x ). For the y-intercept, set ( x = 0 ) and solve for ( y ). The x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis, while the y-intercept is where it crosses the y-axis. These intercepts can be used to graph the equation and understand its behavior.
You replace x = 0, and do the calculations.
Slope is zero y-intercept is -7 there is no x-intercept for this equation
-- Take the equation. -- Say to yourself, "At the x-intercept, y=0". Set 'y' equal to zero, solve the equation for 'x', and you have the x-intercept. -- Take the original equation again. -- Say to yourself, "At the y-intercept, x=0". Set 'x' equal to zero, solve the equation for 'y', and you have the y-intercept.

At the x-intercept on the graph of the equation, y=0. Take the equation, set 'y' equal to zero, and solve the equation for 'x'. The number you get is the x-intercept.
If the x intercept is a and the y intercept is b, then the equation of the line is bx + ay = ab
Slope is zero y-intercept is -7 there is no x-intercept for this equation
If it a straight line with no y intercept, it must be parallel to the y-axis. So the equation is x = 3

To find the equation of a line with an x-intercept of 4 and a y-intercept of -2, we can use the intercept form of the equation of a line, which is ( \frac{x}{a} + \frac{y}{b} = 1 ), where ( a ) is the x-intercept and ( b ) is the y-intercept. Substituting the values, we get ( \frac{x}{4} + \frac{y}{-2} = 1 ). Multiplying through by -4 to eliminate the fractions, the equation simplifies to ( 2x + 4y = -8 ) or, rearranging, ( y = -\frac{1}{2}x - 2 ).
Set x = 0 and solve the resulting equation in y for the y-intercept. Set y = 0 and solve the resulting equation in x for the x-intercept.
