About Intercepts
Intercepts are the points where a graph crosses the axes.
- **X-Intercept:** The point where the graph crosses the x-axis (y = 0).
- **Y-Intercept:** The point where the graph crosses the y-axis (x = 0).
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can a line have no intercepts?
- Yes. A horizontal line y = c (c ≠ 0) has no x-intercept, and a vertical line x = c (c ≠ 0) has no y-intercept.
- How many intercepts can a quadratic equation have?
- A quadratic equation (parabola) always has one y-intercept. It can have 0, 1, or 2 x-intercepts depending on the discriminant.
