\n" ); document.write( "to find the slope and the \"y-intercept\" you first need to write your equation in slope-intercept form \"y=mx%2Bb\" where \"m\" is the slope and \"b\" is the \"y-intercept\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B4y=8\"....so, solve for \"y\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"4y=-x%2B8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-x%2F4%2B8%2F4\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=-%281%2F4%29x%2B2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, the slope is \"m=-%281%2F4%29\" and the \"y-intercept\" is \"b=2\", in other words the line intersects \"y-axis\" at (\"0\",\"2\") \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "to find the \"x-intercept\" set \"y=0\" and solve for \"x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B4%2A0=8\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"x=8\"...so, the line intersects \"x-axis\" at (\"8\",\"0\")\r
