Thanks! And yes, I could have left it at one point on each line since the origin counts, but thought two points might help drive the point (no pun intended!) home, lest one point appear to be a "lone solution" -- two helps show that the green line is actually a maximum to a whole solution set rather than just a line created from one data point.
