Dear Panic Person,
\n" ); document.write( "Life is too short to panic over math.
\n" ); document.write( "graph 3x+2y=6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "This is the intercept method.
\n" ); document.write( "Let x=0 and solve for y. This is your y-intercept where the line crosses the y-axis.
\n" ); document.write( "3(0)+2y=6
\n" ); document.write( "0+2y=6
\n" ); document.write( "2y/2=6/2
\n" ); document.write( "y=3
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (0,3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Now let y=0 and solve for x. This is your x-intercept where the line crosses the x-axis.
\n" ); document.write( "3x+2(0)=6
\n" ); document.write( "3x+0=6
\n" ); document.write( "3x=6
\n" ); document.write( "3x/3=6/3
\n" ); document.write( "x=2
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (2,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Connect the points and you have a line that looks like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"graph%28300%2C200%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C%28-3x%2B6%29%2F2%29\"$
