Understanding X and Y Intercepts

In coordinate geometry, the intercepts are points where a line or curve intersects the axes of a graph.

- The x-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. At this point, the y-coordinate is always zero. To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 in the equation and solve for x.

- The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. At this point, the x-coordinate is always zero. To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 in the equation and solve for y.

This calculator helps you find these intercepts quickly using different methods such as providing two points, a point and a slope, or using the standard form of a linear equation (Ax + By = C). Simply select your input method, enter the values, and calculate the intercepts instantly!
