anonymous · Answer

first find the slope 
second use y-y1 = m(x-x1) and plug the points. m = slope
then put the equation in to slope intercept form y= mx+b
then set y to zero and solve for x

To get an intercept just multiply the y by 0 so you just have your x

I know this sounds so stupid but I dont know which one is the x an which is the y
