document.write( "First get the equation into y=mx+b form.  m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.  So solve the original equation for y.  you should have gotten <IMG STYLE=\"max-width:80%;\" SRC=/cgi-bin/plot-formula.mpl?expression=y=-x-10 ALIGN=MIDDLE  ALT=\"y=-x-10\"   DISABLED_style= \"max-width:90%; height:auto;\" >.  Therefore -10 is the y-intercept.  It is also known as whatever y is when x is zero.  So you already know that one coordinate of this line is (0,-10), because that is the y intercept.  To get points on the line, just plug in a value for x and see what you get for y.  For example, one point on this line would be (1,-11) and another would be (4,-14). </SPAN>\n" );
