How to find the x and y intercept from an equation

The video tutorial explains how to find the X and Y intercepts of a linear equation both graphically and algebraically. It begins by defining intercepts on a graph, where the X intercept is the point where the line crosses the X-axis, and the Y intercept is where it crosses the Y-axis. The tutorial then addresses the challenge of finding intercepts without a graph by using algebraic methods. It demonstrates solving the equation 2X - 5Y = 1 for X and Y intercepts by setting the opposite variable to zero and solving for the remaining variable. Finally, it shows how to plot these intercepts on a graph.
