This video tutorial explains how to find the X and Y intercepts of an equation. It begins by defining what intercepts are and how they relate to the X and Y axes. The tutorial then provides examples of coordinates and explains how to find intercepts by plugging values into equations. It demonstrates solving these equations to find the intercepts and how to express them in coordinate form. Finally, the video shows how to graph these intercepts on a coordinate plane.
