You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First put it into the slope-intercept form
\n" ); document.write( "which is: $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+m+\"$ is the slope of the line
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b+\"$ is the y-intercept
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-3x+-+5y+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Add $\"+3x+\"$ to both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+-5y+=+3x%2B+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by $\"+-5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+-%283%2F5%29%2Ax+-+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept, $\"+3+\"$ , gives you
\n" ); document.write( "the point ( 0, -3 )
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The x-intercept is where $\"+y+=+0+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+0+=+-%283%2F5%29%2Ax+-+3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+%283%2F5%29%2Ax+=+-3+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+-3%2A%285%2F3%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+x+=+-5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "This is the point ( -5, 0 )
\n" ); document.write( "2 points are all that is needed to plot the line
\n" ); document.write( "Here's the plot:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+400%2C+400%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-%283%2F5%29%2Ax+-+3+%29+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
