\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-2%280%29%2B5=5\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (0,5).
\n" ); document.write( " $\"drawing%28300%2C300%2C-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2Cgrid%281%29%2Ccircle%280%2C5%2C0.3%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now choose any other point.
\n" ); document.write( "How about $\"x=2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-2%282%29%2B5=-4%2B5=1\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Plot (2,1).
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "Now draw the line through both of those points.
