im doing slope point form and i just wanted to know if in the equation y-y1=m(x-x1) the x inetrcept is the x1 or the y1

The x intercept is going to be (x,0) which means it will be x1
I hate algerbra...don't you?

Neither. In the point/slope form, you're using one of the points on the line. The x1 is the x coordinate of that point, the y1 is the y coordinate.
For instance: You want a line of slope 3 passing through (2, -4). In point/slope form, that would be
y + 4 = 3(x - 2)
If the point you have happens to be one of the intercepts, then it will fit in appropriately, but you may not have either of the intercepts and it will still work.

the x intercept is the x1, i think. the y intercept would be y1. ask your teacher to make sure though.

the x intercept is x1 and the y intercept is y1

Is the x1. I'm sure about it.
