To find the y-intercept, plug substitute 0 for x and solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "To find the x-intercept, plug substitute 0 for y and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=56
\n" ); document.write( "To find the y-intercept, plug substitute 0 for x and solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=56
\n" ); document.write( "0+y=56
\n" ); document.write( "y = 56
\n" ); document.write( "therefore, the y-intercept is at (0,56)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To find the x-intercept, plug substitute 0 for y and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=56
\n" ); document.write( "x+0=56
\n" ); document.write( "x = 56
\n" ); document.write( "therefore, the x-intercept is at (56,0)
\n" ); document.write( ".\r

\n" ); document.write( "y=3x
\n" ); document.write( "To find the y-intercept, plug substitute 0 for x and solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x
\n" ); document.write( "y=3(0)
\n" ); document.write( "y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "therefore, the y-intercept is at (0,0)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To find the x-intercept, plug substitute 0 for y and solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x
\n" ); document.write( "0=3x
\n" ); document.write( "0 = x
\n" ); document.write( "therefore, the x-intercept is at (0,0)
