x-intercept is 2
y-intercept is 4

The x-intercept is the value of $x$ $x$ when $y = 0$ $y=0$ for the given equation.
( $y = 0$ $y=0$ along the x-axis).

The y-intercept is the value of $y$ $y$ when $x = 0$ $x=0$ for the given equation.
( $x = 0$ $x=0$ along the y-axis).

This can be seen in its graph. The $x$ $x$ intercept is on the $y$ $y$ axis, and the $y$ $y$ intercept is on the $x$ $x$ axis.
