\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If you have the

-intercept and another point, you have two points. Since the

-intercept is the value of

where the graph of the line intersects the

-axis, the

-coordinate of that point must be zero, hence one of your points is (0,-2) and the other is (-3,4).\r
