\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "OK
\n" ); document.write( "If x=0, y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "Plot that point.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Now, the slope is (-4/3) which you can write as (4)/(-3)
\n" ); document.write( "That means,\"as x increases 4, y decreases3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Start at (0,-2); move 4 units to the right; then move 3 units down.
\n" ); document.write( "You are now at (4,-5).
\n" ); document.write( "Put a point there.
\n" ); document.write( "Draw a line thru the two points.
\n" ); document.write( "That is the graph you want.
