document.write( "Graphs of linear equations are straight lines.  To graph one, you need only 2 points, then draw a straight line thru them.  Make the 2 points far enough apart that the graph is accurate.<BR>\n" );
document.write( "One way to find 2 point is to set x = 0 and solve for y.  That gives a point (0,y).  Then set y = 0 and solve for x to get (x,0).  If those 2 points are sufficiently far apart, draw the line thru them.  If not, set x or y equal to any value and solve for the other variable and use that point. </SPAN>\n" );
