YOUR ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM IS:X INTERCEPT IS (2,0),(-2,0),(-1,0)
\n" ); document.write( " Y INTERCEPT IS (0,-4)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "X INTERCEPT OF A LINE IS THE POINT WHERE THE LINE CROSSES THE X AXIS
\n" ); document.write( "Y INTERCEPT===================================================Y AXIS
\n" ); document.write( "WHERE X AND Y VALUES =0\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " I HAVE SET-UP AN EXAMPLE:
\n" ); document.write( "3X+4Y=12
\n" ); document.write( "(1)FIND X INTERCEPT,LET Y=0,SOLVE FOR X
\n" ); document.write( "3X+4(0)=12
\n" ); document.write( "3X+0=12
\n" ); document.write( "3X=12
\n" ); document.write( "X=12/3
\n" ); document.write( "X=4
\n" ); document.write( "(2) FIND THE Y INTERCEPT, LET X=0 AND SOLVE FOR Y
\n" ); document.write( "3(0)+4Y=12
\n" ); document.write( "0+4Y=12
\n" ); document.write( "4Y=12
\n" ); document.write( "Y=12/4
\n" ); document.write( "Y=3
\n" ); document.write( "SO,THE X INTERCEPT IS (4,0)
\n" ); document.write( " Y INTERCEPT IS (0,3)
\n" ); document.write( "I HOPE THIS EXAMPLE WILL HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND ,,,X AND Y INTERCEPTS \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
