The y-intercept is the value of the function when 'x' is zero. That is, it's the point
at which the graph of the function intercepts (crosses) the y-axis.
The x-intercept is the value of 'x' that makes the value of the function zero. That is,
it's the point at which 'y' is zero, and the graph of the function intercepts the x-axis.

slope means the difference in the y-values over the difference in the x-values. y-intercept means the point at which the graph goes through the y-axis.
A line in slope-intercept form is: y = mx + b m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. To find the slope, find any two coordinates, and divide the difference in y-values by the difference in x-values; to find the y-intercept, find the value of y where x = 0.
To find the x-intercept, plug 0 in for y: 0 = -x-1, so x = -1. To find the y-intercept, plug zero in for x: y=-0-1, so y = -1 The x-intercept is (0,-1) and the y-intercept is (-1,0)
Slope is zero y-intercept is -7 there is no x-intercept for this equation
x - 3 = y-- At the x-intercept, y=0.x - 3 = 0x = 3The x-intercept is the point (3, 0).-- At the y-intercept, x=0.0 -3 = yy = -3The y-intercept is the point (0, -3).
