I have looked it up to see if i was right or not because I wasn't sure and it did something completely different.

You don't need to substitute 0 for x and 0 for y, since when you solve the equation for y, b, or the y-intercept is 0, and if the y-intercept is 0, the x-intercept will also be 0 ====> \r\n" );

document.write( "Starting at the y-intercept, (0, 0) and using slope  ===> going DOWN 5 units, and RIGHT 3 units will lead to a 2nd point. You can now connect the points to get the graph. \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Likewise, starting at the y-intercept, (0, 0) and using slope  ===> going UP 5 units, and LEFT 3 units will lead to a 2nd point. You can now connect the points to get the graph.\r\n" );
document.write( "That's ALL!!
