document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "y = 5x-2  is a function describing ordered pairs that form a line when graphed
\n" );
document.write( "the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line is: y = mx + b 
\n" );
document.write( " where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  
\n" );
document.write( "y = 5x-2 is a line with slope m = 5 and the y-intercept is Pt(0,-2)
\n" );
document.write( " m = (5/1)as y increases/decreases by 5, x increases/decreases by 1
\n" );
document.write( "Note: Plotting Pt(0,-2) and using slope to find at least one more point,
\n" );
document.write( "joining these points with a line completes the graphing
\n" );
