You can put this solution on YOUR website!
-5x + 6y = 100

\n" ); document.write( "there are two situations to consider
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "if x = 0, then

\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = 16.6666 approximately 16.7
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "this is the y intercept and the point is (0, 16.7)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "if y = 0, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-5x = 100
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "x = -20
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "this is the x intercept and the point is (-20, 0)
