Calculate Points Where Line Crosses X and Y Axes

Understanding X and Y Intercepts

The x-intercept is the point where a line crosses the x-axis (y = 0). The y-intercept is the point where a line crosses the y-axis (x = 0). These points are fundamental in understanding linear equations and their graphs.

How to Use This Calculator:

  1. Enter the slope (m) of your line
  2. Enter the y-intercept (b) of your line
  3. Click "Calculate Intercepts" to see the results

Formula Used:

For a line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b):

  • Y-intercept: Point (0, b)
  • X-intercept: Point (-b/m, 0)
