You can put this solution on YOUR website!
NORMALLY TO SOLVE LINE EQUATIONS YOU SET Y=0 & SOLVE FOR X & THEN SET X=0 & SOLVE FOR Y.
\n" ); document.write( "IN THIS CASE [y=3x] YOU HAVE (0,0) FOR THIS SOLUTION.
\n" ); document.write( "HOWEVER YOU HAVE A SLOPE(m)=3 WHICH SAYS FOR EVERY 3 CHANGES IN Y VALUE YOU HAVE A COM[PANION CHANGE IN THE X VALUE OF 1.
\n" ); document.write( "EXAMPLE IF Y=3 THEN X=1 OR(1,3). IF Y=6 THEN X=2 OR (2,6).
\n" ); document.write( "THE FOLLOWING GRAPH WILL SHOW YOU WAHT THIS LINE LOOKS LIKE WHEN PROPERLY GRAPHED.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+300%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+-6%2C+6%2C+y+=+3x%29+\"$ (graph 300x300 pixels, x from -6 to 6, y from -6 to 6, y = 3x).
