-3x+5y=-5
\n" ); document.write( "Three Steps
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Step One: solve for y
\n" ); document.write( "5y = 3x - 5 ==> divide both sides by 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%283%2F5%29x+-+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Step Two: Find intercepts (these will provide two line coordinates, which you can draw a line through for the graph)
\n" ); document.write( "y intercept
\n" ); document.write( "Comparing to the y=mx+b (slope intercept) format, the y intercept is -1;
\n" ); document.write( "therefore, plot (0, - 1)
\n" ); document.write( "x intercept
\n" ); document.write( "Set the equation equal to 0 (or the y value as zero) and solve for x
\n" ); document.write( "0 = \"%283%2F5%29x+-+1\"
\n" ); document.write( "1 = \"3%2F5\"x
\n" ); document.write( "x=\"5%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "therefore, plot (\"5%2F3\", 0)
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Step Three: Find more line coordinates
\n" ); document.write( "Choose any value for x and then solve for y, these are additional line coordinates.
\n" ); document.write( "If you choose x = 5
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%283%2F5%29%285%29+-+1+=+2\"
\n" ); document.write( "plot (5, 2)
\n" ); document.write( "If you choose x = -1
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"%283%2F5%29%28-1%29+-+1+=+%28-3%2F5%29+-+1+=+%28-3%2F5%29+-+1%285%2F5%29+=+-8%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "plot (-1, \"-8%2F5\")
