To find the y intercept put zero in for x and solve. To find the x intercept put zero in for y and solve. (0,8) and (-8,0)
solve the x and you find the y
To solve for intercepts on a straight line graph put the equation in the form y=mx+c where c is the y-intercept and you have the y intercept. Now to solve x-intercept set y=0 eg y=2x+5 0=2x+5 2x=-5 x=-2.5 For intercepts on other forms of graphs eg parabola y-intercept= make x equal to 0 and solve x-intercept= make y equal to 0 and solve
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.
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.
