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.
Find the gradient of the line passing through (a, b) and (0, c). Intercepts. The x-intercept of a line is the point at which it crosses the x-axis. The y-intercept of a line is the point at which it crosses the y-axis. In the diagram to the left the y-intercept is at A and the x-intercept at B. The second diagram shows a line parallel to the x-axis and it has a y-intercept at C. The third diagram shows a line parallel to the y-axis and it has an x-intercept at D. Equation of a straight line. When we plot points which satisfy the equation. y = 2 x + 1 we find that they lie in a straight line.
