You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Set into y=mx+b format
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "2x+4y=12
\n" ); document.write( "4y = -2x + 12
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%28-2%2F4%29x+%2B+12%2F4\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight_green%28y+=+%28-1%2F2%29x+%2B+3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Graph the intercepts
\n" ); document.write( "y intercept is 3
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (0, 3)
\n" ); document.write( "x intercept is where y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "0 = (-1/2)x+3
\n" ); document.write( "-3 = (-1/2)x
\n" ); document.write( "-3(-2) = x
\n" ); document.write( "x=6
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (6, 0)
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a line through the intercepts
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "x+y=2
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y+=+-x+%2B+2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Graph the intercepts
\n" ); document.write( "y intercept is 2
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (0, 2)
\n" ); document.write( "x intercept is where y = 0
\n" ); document.write( "0 = -x + 2
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = -x
