You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Suppose you have a linear equation:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+5x+-+11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is where $\"+x+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so, making $\"+x+=+0+\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+5%2A0+-+11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-11+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is at ( 0. -11 )
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The slope is $\"+5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "here's the plot:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-5%2C+5%2C+-15%2C+5%2C+5x+-+11+%29+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
