You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You can just pick 2 numbers for x and plug them in to get 2 numbers of y (or f(x)). Lets let x=0 and x=1
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%280%29+=+-2%280%29-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%280%29+=+-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "So our first point is (0,-5). Now lets plot our second point. Lets let x=1
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%280%29+=+-2%281%29-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%280%29+=+-2-5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"f%280%29+=+-7\"
\n" ); document.write( "So our second point is (1,-7). Lets plot these points and draw a line between them
\n" ); document.write( "Connect the 2 dots to make a line
\n" ); document.write( "Now just connect the points with a ruler.
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-2x-5%29+\"So here's what the graph looks like.
