Some lines does not touch the x-axis or y-axis. For example, when the equation of line is y=1, the line never touches the y-axis [coordinates on the line would be (_,1)]. Equations such as y=1/x will not touch both axis.

No because a line can be a vertical line so say you have the equation x=5. Then a vertical line would pass through the x intercept 5 and be vertical thus not having a y intercept. All horizontal lines have a y 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.
The x-intercept of a line is the point at which the line crosses the x-axis.
Yes, a zero slope line has no x-intercept.
At the x-intercept, y=0.2x = 0x = 0The line goes through the origin, where 'x' and 'y' are both zero.
