Rewrite the equation 2x – 8y = 48 \r\n" );
document.write( "as a function of x.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "1. Solve for y\r\n" );
document.write( "2. Replace y by f(x)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "2x – 8y = 48\r\n" );
document.write( "    -8y = 48 - 2x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide thru by -8 \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "      y = -6 + 1/4x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Replace y by f(x)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "   f(x) = -6 + 1/4x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
