In a graph, an intercept is a point where a line or curve intersects either the x-axis or y-axis. There are two types of intercepts:

• X-intercept: The point where a line or curve intersects the x-axis. To find the x-intercept, we set y=0 and solve for x.
• Y-intercept: The point where a line or curve intersects the y-axis. To find the y-intercept, we set x=0 and solve for y.

Intercepts are important in graphing linear equations and can help us understand the behavior of a function. By finding the intercepts, we can determine where the graph crosses the axes and use this information to sketch the graph.
