Question 461810
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


To find the *[tex \Large x]-intercept, set *[tex \Large y\ =\ 0] and solve for the resulting value of *[tex \Large x].  The calculated value of *[tex \Large x] is the *[tex \Large x]-coordinate of the ordered pair *[tex \Large (a,0)], which is the *[tex \Large x]-intercept.


To find the *[tex \Large y]-intercept, set *[tex \Large x\ =\ 0] and solve for the resulting value of *[tex \Large y].  The calculated value of *[tex \Large y] is the *[tex \Large y]-coordinate of the ordered pair *[tex \Large (0,b)], which is the *[tex \Large y]-intercept.


To graph the line, plot the *[tex \Large x]-intercept and then plot the *[tex \Large y]-intercept.  Draw your line through the two plotted points.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
