You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two alternatives are:
\n" ); document.write( "working through \"t\" to get at the answer, or
\n" ); document.write( "getting rid of that \"t\", expressing \"y\" as a function of \"x\", and working as we normally do.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Where does the line cross the x-axis?
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28Answer%29\": At point (9,0).
\n" ); document.write( "The x-axis is the line \"y=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=0\" --> \"0=4t%2B2\" --> \"4t=-2\" --> \"t=-1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t=-1%2F2\" --> \"x=-4%28-1%2F2%29%2B7\" --> \"x=2%2B7\" --> \"highlight%28x=9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Where does the line cross the y-axis?
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28Answer%29\": At point (0,9).
\n" ); document.write( "The y-axis is the line \"x=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=0\" --> \"0=-4t%2B7\" --> \"4t=7\" --> \"t=7%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"t=7%2F4\" --> \"y=4%287%2F4%29%2B2%7D%7D+--%3E+%7B%7B%7By=7%2B2\" --> \"highlight%28y=9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Alternatively,
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=-4t%2B7\" --> \"x-7=-4t\" --> \"%28x-7%29%2F%28-4%29=t\" and
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=4%28x-7%29%2F%28-4%29%29%2B2\" --> \"y=%284%2F%28-4%29%29%28x-7%29%2B2\" --> \"y=%28-1%29%28x-7%29%2B2\" --> \"y=-x%2B7%2B2\" --> \"y=-x%2B9\"
\n" ); document.write( "Where does the line cross the y-axis?
