This one is a little more difficult for me, how would I graph the equation and identify the y-intercept of
\n" ); document.write( "y + x = -5?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "1st: Solve for \"y\":
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x-5
\n" ); document.write( "2nd: Plot two points:
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 0, y = -5 gives point (0,-5)
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 2, y = -7 gives point (2,-7)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "3rd: Plot those 2 points and
\n" ); document.write( "draw a line thru them.
\n" ); document.write( "that is the graph you want.
