:Solving the system by graphing
\n" ); document.write( "x-6y=6
\n" ); document.write( "y = (x-6)/6 = (1/6)x - 1
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 0, y = -1 gives you point (0,-1)
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 6, y = 0 gives you point (6,0)
\n" ); document.write( "--
\n" ); document.write( "Plot those two points and draw a line thru them to see the graph.
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "-x+y=4
\n" ); document.write( "y = x + 4
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 0, y = 4 gives you point (0,4)
\n" ); document.write( "If x = 2, y = 6 gives you point (2,6)
\n" ); document.write( "Plot those and draw a line thru them.
