easy way for intercepts\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x equals zero at the y-intercept and y equals zero at the x-intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "take the standard form equation and ignore the term that your not finding the intercept of (because the term equals zero)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3x + 2y = 6 ___ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ignoring the y-term ___ 3x = 6 ___ x = 2 ___ the x-intercept is (0,2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "ignoring the x-term ___ 2y = 6 ___ y = 3 ___ the y-intercept is (3,0)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "graph the equation by locating the two intercepts and drawing the line through the two points\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the slope is also easy ___ -(y-intercept) / (x-intercept) ___ -3 / 2 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
