document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "     For it, substitute x= 0 into the equation and get y= 6/(-2) = -3.\r\n" );
document.write( "     Thus y-intercept is the point (0,-3).\r\n" );
document.write( "     Draw this point and call it A.\r\n" );

document.write( "(2)  Then use the slope. From the given equation, the slope is -1/2.\r\n" );

document.write( "     From the y-intercept point (0,-3), go 2 units horizontally to the right parallel to x-axis\r\n" );
document.write( "                                       and 1 unit  vertically down parallel to y-axis.\r\n" );
document.write( "     You will arrive to the point (2,-4).\r\n" );
