First make a table\r

    \r\n" );
document.write( "      x          y\r\n" );
document.write( "   -5.00000   -9.50000\r\n" );
document.write( "   -4.00000   -5.00000\r\n" );
document.write( "   -3.00000   -1.50000\r\n" );
document.write( "   -2.00000    1.00000\r\n" );
document.write( "   -1.00000    2.50000\r\n" );
document.write( "    0.00000    3.00000\r\n" );
document.write( "    1.00000    2.50000\r\n" );
