Generate a table of (x,y) pairs:
\n" ); document.write( "y = 10/x
\n" ); document.write( "x y
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "-20 -0.5
\n" ); document.write( "-10 -1
\n" ); document.write( " -5 -2
\n" ); document.write( "-2.5 -4
\n" ); document.write( " -1 -10
\n" ); document.write( "-0.5 -20
\n" ); document.write( " 0.5 20
\n" ); document.write( " 1 10
\n" ); document.write( " 2.5 4
\n" ); document.write( " 5 2
\n" ); document.write( " 10 1
\n" ); document.write( " 20 0.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The graph looks like this:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-20%2C20%2C-20%2C20%2C10%2Fx%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
