You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Each line usually has two intercept points: the x-intercept and the y-intercept.
To find the x=intercept point, let y=0 and solve for x.
The point will be (x, 0)
.
To find the y-intercept point, let x=0 and solve for y. The point will be (0, y)
.
Connect the dots and extend each point to get the graph of the line.
