\r\n" );
document.write( "This line has the form y = x + c, \r\n" );
document.write( "and you need to choose the constant c in a way y=0 at x=5:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "0 = 5 + c.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It gives c = -5.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore y = x -5.\r\n" );
