The x-intercept is defined to be the value of x when y is zero. Based on the graph of the function: f(x) = (x-4)(x+4), the x-intercepts are located at (-4, 0) and (4,0). At these points the graph intersects the x-axis. The midpoint of the x-intercepts is located at the middle of the two points. In this case, the graph shows that it is at the origin or at (0,0).
