Answer:
Intercepts in terms of graphing are considered to be points at which a function crosses an axis. In the standard x and y graph (the Cartesian coordinate grid), one would find the intercepts by simply plugging in the value of 0 for either the x or the y to find either the y or x intercept respectively. For example, to find the y-intercept, you want to find (0,y) and to find the x-intercept, you want to find (x,0).
