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.
If you have dummy variables in your model, though, the intercept has more meaning. Dummy coded variables have values of 0 for the reference group and 1 for the comparison group. Since the intercept is the expected mean value when X=0, it is the mean value only for the reference group (when all other X=0).f X never = 0, then the intercept has no intrinsic meaning. In scientific research, the purpose of a regression model is to understand the relationship between predictors and the response. If so, and if X never = 0, there is no interest in the intercept.
