the $\"x-intercept\"$ ....to find it, set $\"y=0\"$ in given equation and solve for $\"x\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x-8%2A0+=+10+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x=+10+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=+10%2F4+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=+cross%2810%295%2Fcross%284%292+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=+5%2F2+\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the $\"x-intercept\"$ is at ( $\"5%2F2\"$ , $\"0\"$ )\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and now\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-intercept\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "set $\"x=0\"$ in given equation and solve for $\"y\"$ \r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=+-5%2F4+\"$ \r
