document.write( "x- intercept (-6,0)    When y = 0  ⇒  -4x = 24, x = -6

document.write( "y-intercept  (0,-4)    When x = 0  ⇒  -6y = 24, y = -4\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "As to putting it in y = mx + b form (not necessary, but good practice)
\n" );
document.write( "-4x - 6y = 24

document.write( " +4x +4x
\n" );
document.write( " -6y = 24 + 4x   ||Good Work

document.write( "Note: this generates Pts (0,-4) and (-6,0) as well, naturally  \n" );
