Usually it means where the line from the result of an equation crosses the y or x axis.

The two intercept forms in math are used mostly in graphing. They would be both x-intercept (or x-intercepts), and y-intercept (or y-intercepts)
Well, honey, the y-intercept is where the line crosses the y-axis, so when x=0, you solve for y. And the x-intercept is where the line crosses the x-axis, so when y=0, you solve for x. Just plug in the values and do the math, sweetie.
The y axis is a vertical line on the Cartesian plane and a straight line equation is the point at which it intercepts the y axis.
It is a straight line equation as for example when y = 3x+6 then 3 is the slope and 6 is the y intercept.
