The intercept form of the equation of a line with intercepts (a, 0) and (0, b)

is .Where a is the intercept and b is the y-intercept.

Graph for equation having x-intercept and y-intercept is

An for equation having x-intercept and no y-intercept is

That means b = 0.

                   (Substitute b = 0)

                   (Multiply each side by a)

                             (Cancel common terms)

It is not possible for a line having two x-intercepts.It is possible for the curves like

sinx,cosx and parabolas.

An equation having no x-intercept and y-intercept is

Graph for equation having no x-intercept and y-intercept is

It is not possible for a line having two y-intercepts.It is possible for the curves like

siny,cosy and parabolas.
