document.write( "Using a table is appropriate if you know a function is linear (so you can plot two  or more points and connect them). With other functions you might need more points. The x- and y-intercepts method works as well, and is another case of a table. I don't know what you mean by \"graphing using a linear equation\" but the other method (which works best for me) is to write it in the form y = mx + b. The y-intercept is (0,b) and then I draw a line through that point with slope m. </SPAN>\n" );
