You can put this solution on YOUR website!
that equation is in the standard form for a line.
If you were given %281%2F2%29x+%2B+y+=+1 would you able to solve it?
Pick a few values for x and then solve for y. Then plot them and see the solution

if you want a local tool to do this type of work, go get geogebra.
