You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Without an x value you only have:
\n" ); document.write( "y = -8 - 4
\n" ); document.write( "y=-12 which is a y intercept=-12 and a horizontal line through that point.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-15%2C+10%2C+y+=+-12%29+\"$ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -15 to 10, y = -12). \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
