What is the difference between intercept and intersect? Can they be used interchangeably? For example, intersecting lines and intercepting lines.

    *Intercept* seems more appropriate as a noun (e.g. "Find the x-intercepts of f(x)"). *Intersect* seems more appropriate as a verb (e.g. "Find where f interests the x-axis")2012-10-18
