X as a function of Y=a+c+d*Z^0+b*Y The intercept for this equation equals?

Your equation simplifies down to:

. . . . .Y = a + c + d + bY

. . . . .Y - bY = a + c + d

. . . . .Y = (a + c + d) / (1 - b)

In other words, Y would appear to be a constant, and Z would appear to be irrelevant. As such, X will also be a constant. Was this what you meant?

Also, which intercept were you seeking?

Thank you!
