xintercept is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0
yintercept is where the line crosses the y axis or where x=0
aka
finding the finding the x intercept is finding the x value when y=0
finding the finding the y intercept is finding the y value when x=0
y=-1/2x-5
xint
y=0
0=-1/2x-5
5=-1/2x
-10=x
(-10,0) is x intercpet
yint
set x=0
y=-1/2(0)=5
y=-5
(0,-5) is yint
xint: x=-10 or at point (-10,0)
yint: y=-5, or at point (0,-5)
