The abline function works fine for simple linear regression because there
is only 1 line, but with multiple linear regression there are an infinite
number of lines and you need to decide which to plot (or find a way to plot
t he plane/hyperplane/surface/etc.).
One option is to use the Predict.Plot and TkPredict functions in the
TeachingDemos package. These will plot the relationship between the
response and 1 of the predictors conditioned on values of the other
predictors.
