Question 988813: In the slope-intercept form, the equation consists of the slope and y-intercept. The y-intercept is where the line intercepts the y-axis and the x-intercept is where the line intercepts the x-axis. The ordered pair for the y-intercept is (0, b) and the ordered pair for the x-intercept is (a, 0).
1. How would you find the x- & y-intercept for an equation? Explain.
2. Find the intercepts for the following equations:
a. x + y = 4
b. 2x - 3y = 18
