(1) graph the equation using the x- and y- intercepts: y= -2x-2
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = 0, then y = -2: Plot the point (0,-2)
\n" ); document.write( "Let y = 0, then x = -1: Plot the point (-1,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a line thru the two points:
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28400%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C-2x-2%29\"
