x and y intercepts

The X-intercept is where the line on a graph hits the (X,0). The Y-intercept is where the line on the graph hits the points (0,Y).
Example:   Y=2x+4  to find the Y intercept substitute a 0 in for X making the equation Y=2*0+4 or Y=4 meaning the Y-intercept is (0,4). For the X-intercept you have to substitute 0 in for the Y like this 0=2x+4 then you have to figure out what to multiply 2 by to cancel out the 4. in this case the x is 2, 0=2(2)+4 making the X-intercept (2,0).
To remember which is which just substitute 0 in for the one you aren't trying to find.   

Graphing Story

     I walked two miles at a brisk pace of four miles per hour but then realized that I forgot my phone back at home so i ran back at a pace of seven miles per hour then jogged all the way to my friends house four miles away at a pace of 5.5 miles per hour.
      This graph matches my story because the initial increase shows me walking until I remembered my phone. The slightly steeper decrease shows increased speed towards my house. The even steeper increase shows that I ran at a faster pace for a longer period of time.
