Intercepts

Intercepts are the corresponding coordinates of the intersections of a geometric figure with a coordinate axis. For example, in the xy-plane, the x-intercepts of a line or a curve are the x-coordinates of its intersections with the x-axis. Wolfram|Alpha can compute the specified intercepts of a geometric figure in 2D and higher dimensions and can also return all possible intercepts if no axis is specified.

Intercepts

Ask for intercepts through either mathematical or common-language descriptions.

Locate the intercepts of a line or curve in the plane:

y-intercept of 3x-4y=5
at what points does y^2 - x^3 = 2y cross the axes
intercepts of {x,y}={sin[t],cos[t-1]}

Locate the intercepts of a plane or surface:

z-intercepts of x/2 - y/3 + z/12 = 2
