You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The x intercept=(x,0)
\n" ); document.write( "The y intercept=(0,y)
\n" ); document.write( "Assume the x intercept=(5,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Assume the y intercept=(0,-3)
\n" ); document.write( "Now plot these two points & draw a line through them thus you have:
