You can put this solution on YOUR website!
let the y intercept be (0, 2) and x intercept be (4,0), then
\n" ); document.write( "we have two points on the line which will determine the slope of the line
\n" ); document.write( "slope = (0 - 2) / (4 - 0) = -1/2, our equation is
\n" ); document.write( "*************************************************
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x/2 + 2
\n" ); document.write( "*************************************************
\n" ); document.write( "check our equation
\n" ); document.write( "if x = 0 then y = 2 which is our y axis intercept (0,2)
\n" ); document.write( "now solve our equation for x
\n" ); document.write( "start by multiplying both sides of = by 2
\n" ); document.write( "2y = -x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "add x to both sides of =
\n" ); document.write( "x + 2y = 4
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 2y from both sides of =
\n" ); document.write( "x = -2y + 4
\n" ); document.write( "if y = 0 then x = 4 which is our x axis intercept (4, 0)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
