Question

Compare and contrast between x-intercept and y-intercept

Answer 1

The intercepts of a graph are points at which the graph crosses the axes. The x-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the x-axis. ... The y-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis. At this point, the x-coordinate is zero.

Answer 2

Answer:

"The x-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the x-axis... ...The y-intercept is the point at which the graph crosses the y-axis." (Lumen)

The x-intercept is on the horizontal axis while the y-intercept is vertical axis. Aside from that they are practically the same and serve the same purpose while graphing, they just go in differing positions.
