the y intercept will be where the graph hits the y axis. at that point(s), x will be 0.
additionally, the x intercept will be where the graph hits the x axis. at that point(s), y will be 0.

To find the x intercepts, if any, just look at all the places that the function crosses the x-axis. The value of x at each such point is an x-intercept. The function can have only one y-intercept and that is the value of y when the function crosses the y-axis.
Make sure you have a function, or all bets are off. For each value of x, there can be only one value of y. If a value of x produces more than one unique value of y, then you do not have a function, and all the rules regarding functions are meaningless.

X is the horizontal axis of the graph. Find whatever Y value you want, and look down to where that point is on the X-axis. An x-intercept is where the line on the graph crosses or touches the X-axis (when x=0).

x intercept is a point where graph crosses x axis and it has coordinate (x, 0)
