You can put this solution on YOUR website!
To solve for a y-int. plug 0 into x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-0\"$
\n" ); document.write( "There's no such thing as -0, so it's just 0.
\n" ); document.write( "So, our y-intercept is (0,0). Coincidentally this is also our x-intercept, because this graph passes through the origin. Whenever the answer is (0,0) it is both the x- and y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "To graph it, it looks like:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+200%2C+200%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-x%29+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
