More specifically, 1  an x-intercept is a point in the equation where the y-value is zero, and. 2  a y-intercept is a point in the equation where the x-value is zero.  Find the x- and y-intercepts of 25x2 + 4y2 = 9.
The value of the intercept, a, anchors the scatterplotâs regression line relative to the values of X and Y (and their coordinates) for the problem at hand. Oftentimes the intercept is a mathematical abstraction but it serves a function of adjusting predicted values of Y relative to the plot.
