The horizontal coordinates are plotted on the x axis whereas the vertical coordinates are plotted on the y axis in the form of (x, y)

You get one (first) quantity by itself in terms of another(second) and by convention that first quantity is on the y axis and the second on the x. It does not make any difference which quantity you choose to be by itself. For example, suppose the first quantity is D for dollars and the second is C for cents and D = 100C You plot D on the y axis and C on the x However you could choose to get C by itself as C = D/100 and plot C on the y axis and D on the x So you need not worry about which quantity, just get any one by itself and plot on the y axis
It can be casually called the x intercept, but it/they is/are the root(s) of the function represented by the graph
If time is the x-axis as expected then the x-intercept would be zero movement of the velocity.
At what point does line represented by the equation 8x + 4y = -4 intersects the y-axis, and at what point in the negative direction of x-axis.
On the Cartesian plane the vertical axis is y and the horizontal axis is x and both axes are perpendicular to each other meeting at the point of origin of coordinates (0, 0)
