\n" ); document.write( "-3x+y=6
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x+6
\n" ); document.write( "[STANDARD LINE EQUATION IS Y=mX+b WHERE X&Y ARE ONE SET OF POINTS, (m)=SLOPE & (b)=Y INTERCEPT.
\n" ); document.write( "SLOPE=3 (FOR EVERY -3/+3 UNIT IN THE Y DIRECTION THERE ARE -1/+1 UNITS IN THE X DIRECTION.
\n" ); document.write( "IN THIS CASE STARTING FROM THE Y INTERCEPT(0,6) YOU DRAW A SLOPE LINE MARKING OFF -3 Y & -1 X UNITS FOR THE NEXT POINT ON THE LINE.
\n" ); document.write( "OR YOU CAN SET Y=0 & SOLVE FOR X. THUS:
\n" ); document.write( "0=3X+6
\n" ); document.write( "3X=-6
\n" ); document.write( "X=-2 OR THE POINT(-2,0)
\n" ); document.write( "Y INTERCEPT=(0,6)
