document.write( "I was wondering how you write the equation of a line that is drawn on a graph. I think you would use y=mx+b, but I am not sure how you would plug the numbers in. The problem just shows a graph with a diagonal line and the y intercept is 0,2. The x intercept is 2,0. I know this question may sound confusing because I can't draw the graph but if you could help that would be great!<BR>\n" );
