What is the definition of graph intercept?
The intercept of a graph is the point where is crosses one of the coordinate axes. The x intercept is where it crosses the x axis, the y intercept where it crosses the y axis. If the graph is given as y equals a function of x, it is usually easier to find the y intercept, because that is where x is 0. You just plug in 0 for x and evaluate. To find the x intercept, you plug in 0 for y and then you have to solve an equation for x. This is fairly easy if it is a linear equation (the graph is a straight line), somewhat harder for a quadratic (a parabola). But anyway you only asked for a definition, and I have given it.
What is the x-intercept and the y-intercept of 4x-6y equals 12?
X-intercept=3 y-intercept=-2
What is the slope of a line that has a y-intercept but no x-intercept?
A line with a y-intercept but no x-intercept will be a straight line parallel to the x axis. It will have a slope of zero.
What is the slope and y-intercept and x-intercept of y equals -7?
Slope is zero y-intercept is -7 there is no x-intercept for this equation
Find the x-intercept and y-intercept of the equation 2y plus x equal 12?
2y + x = 12At the x-intercept, y=0:x = 12At the y-intercept, x=0:2y = 12y = 6
