What is the x and y Intercepts? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts by Substitution 1 Answer Wataru Nov 11, 2014 The x-intercepts of a graph of #y=f(x)# are the x-coordinates of the points where the graph hits the #x#-axis, and the y-intercept is the #y#-coordinate of the point where the graph hits the #y#-axis. I hope that this was helpful. Answer link Related questions How many intercepts can a line have? How do you use substitution to find intercepts? How do you identify the intercepts on a linear graph?
