You can put this solution on YOUR website!
$\"x-intercept\"$ form of linear function is $\"y=mx%2Bb\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-intercept\"$ is $\"b\"$ if you set $\"x=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " and \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x-intercept\"$ is $\"-b%2Fm\"$ if you set $\"y=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in your case $\"-x=0\"$ , we see $\"b=0\"$ and $\"m\"$ tends to infinity because $\"x=-b%2Fm=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if $\"-x=0\"$ ....=>... $\"x=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since $\"x=0\"$ , $\"b=0\"$ , then $\"y=0\"$ you have a point (not a line)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that point is ( $\"0\"$ , $\"0\"$ ) which is origin; so, $\"x-intercept\"$ and $\"y-intercept\"$ are both at ( $\"0\"$ , $\"0\"$ )\r
\n" ); document.write( "
