10X-9Y-24=0
\n" ); document.write( "-9Y=-10X+24
\n" ); document.write( "Y=-10X/-9+24/-9
\n" ); document.write( "Y=10X/9-8/3
\n" ); document.write( "SETTING X=0 WE FIND THE Y INTERCEPT THUS:
\n" ); document.write( "Y=10*0/9-8/3
\n" ); document.write( "Y=-8/3 THE Y INTERCEPT (0,-8/3)
\n" ); document.write( "NOW SETTING Y=0 WE FIND THE X INTERCEPT THUS
\n" ); document.write( "0=10X/9-8/3
\n" ); document.write( "10X/9=8/3 CROSS MULTIPLYING WE GET:
\n" ); document.write( "10X*3=8*9
\n" ); document.write( "30X=72
\n" ); document.write( "X=72/30
\n" ); document.write( "X=12/5 THE X INTERCEPT(12/5,0)
\n" ); document.write( "PROOF:
