To find the x-intercept, set y = 0 and solve for x
To find the y-intercept, set x = 0 and solve for y
The x-intercept is written as (x, 0)
The y-intercept is written as (0, y)
For an equation in the form y = mx + b, the y-intercept is b
For an equation in the form Ax + By = C, find the x-intercept by setting y = 0
For an equation in the form Ax + By = C, find the y-intercept by setting x = 0
If no real solution exists after setting y = 0, there is no x-intercept
If no real solution exists after setting x = 0, there is no y-intercept
