How do you find the x- and y-intercepts of an equation?

An x-intercept lies on the x-axis, where the y-coordinate is 0, so substitute 0 for y and solve for x. A y-intercept lies on the y-axis, where the x-coordinate is 0, so substitute 0 for x and solve for y. Therefore, the correct choice is “To find the x-intercept, substitute 0 for y. To find the y-intercept, substitute 0 for x.”
