The form of the equation is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$ where $\"+m+\"$ = slope
\n" ); document.write( "and $\"+b+\"$ = y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Going from
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+2x+-+5+\"$ to
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+5x+%2B+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The slope becomes much steeper, going from
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+2+\"$ to $\"+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept goes from $\"+y+=+-5+\"$ to $\"+y+=+6+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Here's the plots of both lines:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+2x+-+5%2C+5x+%2B+6+%29+\"$ \r
