\r\n" );
document.write( "Except don't write it as y = \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Instead write it as\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "y = x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "That way, it is in the form y = mx + b, since it is the\r\n" );
document.write( "same as\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "y = x + 0\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "But normally we don't write 0 terms.  But you want your x\r\n" );
document.write( "to be to the right of the fraction , not in the\r\n" );
document.write( "numerator with the 2 even though it is the same thing.\r\n" );
document.write( "That's because it is not in the form mx until the x is \r\n" );
