Find x and y intercepts of a rational equation not in standard form

The video tutorial explains how to find the X and Y intercepts of a graph by simplifying a given equation. It begins with an introduction to the problem, followed by steps to simplify the equation by removing the rational expression. The equation is then converted to standard form. The tutorial demonstrates how to find the X and Y intercepts by setting the opposite variable to zero. It includes calculations for X and Y values using division and approximation methods. Finally, the video shows how to graph the equation using the calculated intercepts.
