know how to find the X and Y intercept of an equation.
====
Example:
2x + 3y = 5
---
To find the x-intercept, let y = 0; then solve for "x":
2x + 3*0 = 5
2x = 5
x = 5/2 is the x-intercept
--------------------------------
To find the y-intercept, let x = 9; then solve for "y":
2*0 + 3y = 5
3y = 5
y = 5/3 is the y-intercept
