When it crosses the x-axis, \"y=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%280%29=x-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x-4=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=4\"
\n" ); document.write( "(4,0)
\n" ); document.write( "First, find the slope.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point slope form with either point,
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-0=-2%28x-4%29\"
