Compute the points corresponding to the intersection of the two curves defined by eqn1 and eqn2.

If only one equation is given, the y-intercept (the intercept with $x=0$) is returned. In this case, the dependent variable should appear alone on the left-hand side of the given equation as in $y=3x+5$.

An optional third argument may be used to indicate the set of coordinate variables.

The command with(student,intercept) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{student}\right)\:$

$\mathrm{intercept}\left(y=x+5\right)$

$\left\{x=0\,y=5\right\}$

$\mathrm{intercept}\left(y=x+5\,y=0\right)$

$\left\{x=\mathrm{-5}\,y=0\right\}$

$\mathrm{intercept}\left(y+4=x+5\,x=0\right)$

$\left\{x=0\,y=1\right\}$

$\mathrm{intercept}\left(y=ax+b\,x=0\,\left\{x\,y\right\}\right)$

$\left\{x=0\,y=b\right\}$
