Actually I spoke too soon David.

I'm looking for a function that will either tell me which point is the 
intersection so that I'd be able to plot a point there.

Or, if I have to solve for the roots in the ways which were demonstrated 
yesterday, then would I be able to specify what the horizontal line is, for 
instance in the case where y (is-not) 0?

Would this just be the uniroot strategy applied to "f"? You then plot the x and 
y values with points()
