So basically, you are doing \"opposite.''  Likewise, if you are looking for \"y-intercept\", you cover up (with your finger or whatever) the x's.  Then, you'll find your answer! For any of these LINEAR equations. (note, i caped LINEAR because this process only works for THESE TYPES OF EQUATIONS; (no squares or cubed terms).\r<BR>\n" );
