First find any two points on the line.
\n" ); document.write( "(To find any two points:
\n" ); document.write( "when x = 0, y = -1, so (0,-1) is a point on the line
\n" ); document.write( "when y = 0, -x-1=0, solving for x we have x = -1, so (-1,0) is a point on the line.)
\n" ); document.write( "Next plot the two points.
\n" ); document.write( "Then draw a line that pass through the two points.\r
