Given it is a linear equation, convert it to slope-intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( "Then define two points and draw the line.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "For example, the linear equation in standard form might be:
\n" ); document.write( "2x + y = 5
\n" ); document.write( "so
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x +5
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "(0,5) is an obvious point. It also is the y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "(4,3) is another point.
\n" ); document.write( ".
