Intercepts are the places where a line crosses the x- and y-axes. When a line crosses the x-axis, the y value is 0. That's the x-intercept. When a line crosses the y-axis, the x value is 0. That's the y-intercept.  The line passes through those points.

The y-intercept is not in the table. Since the table represents a line, there's a constant rate of change of y with respect to x. So we can find that pattern and fill in skipped values from the table to find the y-intercept.
