\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To begin with, your terminology is incorrect. Intercepts are points and points (in

) are specified using ordered pairs. So giving a number and calling it an intercept is incorrect. Presuming you mean that the

-coordinate of the

-intercept is 12 and the

-coordinate of the

-intercept is 14, then you have been given two points on the desired line, namely
