The $\"x-intercepts\"$ are where the graph crosses the $\"x-axis\"$ , and the $\"y-intercepts\"$ are where the graph crosses the y-axis.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Then, algebraically,\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " an $\"x-intercept\"$ is a point on the graph where $\"y+=0\"$ , and
\n" ); document.write( " a $\"y-intercept\"$ is a point on the graph where $\"x+=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B6y=11\"$ ...if $\"y+=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B6%2A0=11\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x=11\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=11%2F2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=5.5\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the $\"x-intercept\"$ is at point ( $\"5.5\"$ , $\"0\"$ )\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "now find $\"y-intercept\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2x%2B6y=11\"$ ...if $\"x+=0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%2A0%2B6y=11\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"6y=11\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=11%2F6\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=1.833\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the $\"y-intercept\"$ is at point ( $\"0\"$ , $\"1.833\"$ )\r
