Calculating Intercepts for Fuel Reserve Modeling

A facilities manager is using the Intercepts method to graph a linear equation representing the depletion of a building's backup fuel reserves over time. To find the xx-intercept of this line on a coordinate plane—which represents the point at which fuel is completely exhausted—what numerical value must the manager substitute for the yy variable in the equation?
