You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Ok, so your equation looks like $\"%281%2F4%29x=2\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Looking at this equation, it is clear that we do not have a y in it, which means that there is no y intercept. When we have just an x, it is stating that we have a vertical line at some x intercept on the graph.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To find the x intercept, what we need to do is solve for x in your equation. So to do that we would multiply each side by 4, so the equation would look like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4x%281%2F4%29x=2x4\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "and this will leave you with:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=8\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So this means the x intercept is at (8,0) where x=8. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
