You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'll pick an equation to demonstrate
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+-2x+%2B+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Here's the plot:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-2%2C+10%2C+-2%2C+10%2C+-2x+%2B+6+%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can see the intercepts
\n" ); document.write( "(1) x-intercept is at ( 3,0 )
\n" ); document.write( "(2) y-intercept is at ( 0,6 )
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "This is normally shortened a little by just saying:
\n" ); document.write( "(1) x-intercept is at 3
\n" ); document.write( "(2) y-intercept is at 6
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Where the line intercepts the x-axis, \"+y+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Where the line intercepts the y-axis, \"+x+=+0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "This is the key to finding the intercepts
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "x-intercept:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+-2x+%2B+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+0+=+-2x+%2B+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+=+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+3+\"
\n" ); document.write( "so, the x-intercept is 3
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "y-intercept:
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+-2x+%2B+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+-2%2A0+%2B+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+y+=+6+\"
\n" ); document.write( "so, the y-intercept is 6
\n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps\r
