You can put this solution on YOUR website!

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In the first place, your line does not have a

-intercept of 2. A

-intercept is a point and a point is designated by an ordered pair.

-intercepts have the feature that the

-coordinate is zero. So, presuming that you (or your instructor) actually meant to say that the

-coordinate of the

-intercept is 2, then the

-intercept is the point
