Answer:
An intercept on an axis is the point where a curve crosses the axis and the distance from the origin is known as intercept
As mentioned it is on a axis, thus the coordinates of the intercept point will be
(
X
,
0
)
for
x
-axis and and
(
0
,
Y
)
for
y
-axis.
This being said, to find the intercept from the equation of a line, we just need to put the value of one variable to
0
to get the intercept for other variable
So in the equation above:
4
x
−
5
y
=
20
let
x
=
0
;
we get
0
−
5
y
=
20
;or
y
=
−
4
thus y-intercept is
−
4
Similarly, let
y
=
0
;
we get
4
x
−
0
=
20
;or
x
=
5
thus x-intercept is
5
