In simple terms, for x intercept is the value of x when y=0, and for y intercept is the value of y when x=0.

intercept is the straight line and the distance from the intersection of axes to the origin.

x intercept is a,y intercept b, the intercept formula is:

x/a+y/b=1 (a≠0 and b≠0)

Note: slope cannot exist. or be tantamount to 0,

Because when slope does not exist, the straight line is perpendicular to the X-axis, b=0,

When the slope be tantamount to 0, the straight line is parallel to the X-axis, a=0.
