The x-intercept is where a line crosses the x-axis, and the y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. Thinking about intercepts helps us graph linear equations.

Direct link to Kim Seidel's post “First, this is the review...” First, this is the review. Maybe you need to start at the beginning of the lesson to get a better understanding. Ask questions as you go. Do the practice problems to reinforce what you are learning. If you get something wrong, use the hints to find and understand your mistake so you learn how to avoid the error. Then, try the review lesson again. Here's a quick overview: The X-intercept is the point where the line crosses the x-axis. So, it must be a point on the x-axis. Any point that is on the x-axis will have a y-value of 0. So, you find the x-intercept by using y=0 in the equation and solve for X. You will then have a point (x-value, 0) that is the x-intercept. Similarly, the Y-intercept is the point where the line crosses the y-axis, so it must be a point that is on the y-axis. All points on the y-axis have an x-value of 0. Thus, to find the y-intercept, you use x=0 in the equation and solve for Y. You will then have a point (0, y-value) that is the y-intercept. Hope this helps.

(my eyes are burning from the screen rn cuz i've been studying for hours straight)
x intercept: if the equation is y=mx+b, the x intercept is -b/m
and figure out the equation first. Then you plug in the numbers from the table into the equation and use the formulas for the x and y intercepts to figure out what you need.
0 = 8/-1x-22
-x-22 = 8
-x = -8 + 22
-x = 14
x = -14
Therefore, x-intercept = (-14,0) [Assuming I got your question right]
