document.write( " inequality true, shade the opposite side of the line.\r \n" );
document.write( " \n" );

document.write( "In order to graph we only need to plug in two points to draw the line \n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( " So lets plug in some points \n" );

document.write( " So from the graph we can see that the slope is (which tells us that in order to go from point to point we have to start at one point and go up 3 units and to the right 1 units to get to the next point) the y-intercept is (0, )and the x-intercept is ( ,0) ,or ( ,0) \n" );
