Two ways to write the x and y intercepts of a graph

The video tutorial explains the concepts of x-intercepts and y-intercepts on a graph. It emphasizes the importance of understanding that x-intercepts occur where y equals zero and can be expressed as coordinate points. The tutorial also connects the idea of x-intercepts to solving equations and finding zeros. Additionally, it covers y-intercepts, which occur where the graph crosses the y-axis, and can also be written as coordinate points. The instructor encourages flexibility in notation, allowing students to choose their preferred method of writing intercepts.

What does it mean when y is equal to 0 in the context of finding x-intercepts?

Where does the graph cross the y-axis, and how can it be represented?
