Intercept Calculator

There are two kinds of intercepts X Intercept and Y Intercept of any equation. X Intercept, Y Intercept are the points where the graph of the equation touches the X-axis and Y-axis respectively. The online tool used to find the intercept of a given equation is called as the Intercept calculator.

Example 1: Find the intercept of the equation 3 X + 2 Y = 6

Given equation of the straight line is 3 X + 4 Y = 12

X intercept is the point on X axis hence Y = 0.

This gives 3 X + 2 * 0 = 6; 3 X = 6   X = 2.

Y intercept is the point on Y axis hence X = 0.

This gives 3 * 0 + 2 * Y = 6; 2 Y = 6   Y = 3.

Hence the intercept of the given straight line is (2, 0) and (0, 3).

Example 2: Find the intercept of the equation 5 X - Y = 5

Given equation of the straight line is 5 X - Y = 5

X intercept is the point on X axis hence Y = 0.

This gives 5 X - 0 = 5; 5 X = 5   X = 1.

Y intercept is the point on Y axis hence X = 0.

This gives 5 * 0 - Y = 5; -Y = 5   Y = -5.

Hence the intercept of the given straight line is (1, 0) and (0, -5).

I just want you to know how great Brinda has been in tutoring me on probability. She is patient and very knowledgeable in all concepts. I look forward to many more sessions with her. I appreciate her help and the great work that Tutor Pace is doing.

I have enjoyed my session with Aparna and it was helpful. I will hope to see her as my Math tutor in future sessions as well.

Your tutor has been such an inspiration to me as I have difficulty getting some of the physics concepts down and truly understanding them. She takes the time to fully explain each and every aspect of any problem I might ask for help and always with encouragement and humor.
