How do you find the x and y intercepts for #y = x + 2#? Algebra Graphs of Linear Equations and Functions Intercepts by Substitution 1 Answer Özgür Özer Dec 28, 2015 #x# intercept is #-2# and #y# intercept is #2#. Explanation: #color(white)xxy=x+2# For #y=0#, #color(white)xxx+2=0# #=>x+2color(red)(-2)=0color(red)(-2)# #=>x=-2# For #x=0#, #color(white)xxy=0+2# #=>y=2# #x# intercept is #-2# and #y# intercept is #2#.
