I'm afraid you'll have to be more specific. There's nothing I can go one based on your question.
x-intercepts are defined to be where y is equal to 0, so to solve for them, just make y to be 0 and see what you get for x.
y-intercepts are defined to be where x is equal to 0; do the same thing and solve for y after making x equal to 0.
That's all I can say and that this is true for ALL functions. Whether you're dealing with a parabola, circle, line, or any other funky graph, those are the definitions of x and y intercepts.

Set the other variable to zero and calculate the intercept.
y = 3x + 6, the y-intercept is 6 (x = 0), the x-intercept is -2 (y = 0)

if y=f(x)
Y interecepts are y=f(0)
X intercepts are 0=f(x). Find the inverse function x=f'(y), then solve for x=f'(0)

x=2 and the y-intercept=-18.4
Sorry, that's the best I can do without you GIVING me the problems.
