Given:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-4y+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The x-intercept is found by setting y = 0 and solving for x.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x-4%280%29+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x+=+1%2F2\"$ The x-intercept is ( $\"1%2F2\"$ , $\"0\"$ ).
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is found by setting x = 0 and solving for y.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%280%29-4y+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4y+=+1\"$ Divide by -4.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+-1%2F4\"$ The y-intercept is ( $\"0\"$ , $\"-1%2F4\"$ )
\n" ); document.write( "To graph the equation, you need to find only two pointsand you have these two as they are the x- and y-intercepts.
\n" ); document.write( "On a graph, just connect these two point with a straight line.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28400%2C400%2C-2%2C2%2C-2%2C2%2Cx%2F2-1%2F4%29\"$ \r
