(8,5) and m=5
\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b This is the line formula where m=the slope & (8,5) are the (X,Y)coordinates of one point.
\n" ); document.write( "You need to replace (m) with 5, (Y) with 5 & (X) with 8 & solve for (b) which is the Y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Y=mX+b
\n" ); document.write( "5=5*8+b
\n" ); document.write( "5=40+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=5-40
\n" ); document.write( "b=-35 this is the Y intercept (0,-35).
\n" ); document.write( "Y=5X-35
\n" ); document.write( "To find the X intercept set y=0 & solve for X.
\n" ); document.write( "0=5X-35
\n" ); document.write( "5X=35
\n" ); document.write( "X=35/5
\n" ); document.write( "X=7 this is the X intercept (7,0)
