Substitute that value into the equation wherever there is an x.  Solve the resulting equation for y.  The x value you picked is the x-coordinate and the y value you obtained is the y-coordinate.  Now you have one point, repeat the process with a different value for x.  Then you will have two points.  Plot the points.  Draw a line passing through both points.  Done.\r<BR>\n" );
