How can you distinguish between the x -intercept and the y -intercept from a graph?

The x -intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x -axis (horizontal axis) and the y -intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y -axis (vertical axis).

The x -intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x -axis (vertical axis) and the y -intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y -axis (horizontal axis).

The y-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x -axis (horizontal axis) and the x-intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y -axis (vertical axis).

The x -intercept is the point where the graph crosses the y-axis (horizontal axis) and the y -intercept is the point where the graph crosses the x-axis (vertical axis).
