An intercept is any point on a line that crosses either the x or y axis on a coordinant grid. X-intercepts lie on the x-axis and are the solutions (what x is) to the quadratic equation of a parabola (ax2 + bx + c = 0). Y-intercepts lie on the y-axis and are mostly used as the "b" in the slope-intercept form of a line (y = mx + b).

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)
It is a straight line equation as for example when y = 3x+6 then 3 is the slope and 6 is the y intercept.
y-intercept y axis
It was the French mathematician Rene Descartes.
The slope intercept form through 23 and 15 would be 5. This is considered as a math equation.
