I think I am starting off right by substituting numbers for x and y and getting my points, I am just having a hard time plotting them. I need an example or something. I will provide a recent problem: \r<BR>\n" );

document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "I think I am suppose to take those first two and substitute both x and y to get my points, but I am unsure if I can choose any numbers I want or should they be certain numbers? For example, the first problem, I substituted x with 0 and got (0,2). I think I have that part down, graphing seems to be what I am not understanding. My homework assignments we have to graph and shade, so I am unsure what I am doing wrong. \r<BR>\n" );
