7-21.

For each of the following equations, find every point where its three-dimensional graph intersects one of the coordinate axes. That is, find the x-, y- and z-intercepts. Express your answer in (x, y, z) form. .

To find the intercept of a given axis, set all other variables to zero.
For example, the y-intercept will be .
To find the y-intercept, let and

Repeat the process to find the z-intercept. .
