\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The general rules are:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " To find an $\"x-intercept\"$ , let the value of $\"y\"$ in the equation be equal to $\"zero\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " Your $\"x-intercept\"$ will be written as a point ( $\"x\"$ , $\"0\"$ ) .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " To find a $\"y-intercept\"$ , let the value of $\"x\"$ in the equation be equal to zero.
\n" ); document.write( " Your $\"y-intercept\"$ will be written as a point ( $\"0\"$ , $\"y\"$ ).
