Basically, that's what you need to do: Set x = 0, then solve for y to get the y-intercept and set y = 0, then solve for x to get the x-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+%2B+3y+-6+=+0\"$ Set x = 0, solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y+-+6+=+0\"$ Add 6 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"3y+=+6\"$ Divide both sides by 3.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+2\"$ The y-intercept!\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+%2B+3y+-+6+=+0\"$ Set y = 0, solve for x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+-+6+=+0\"$ Add 6 to both sides.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+6\"$ Divide both sides by 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+3\"$ The x-intercept! \n" ); document.write( "
