EDWIN'S SOLUTION:

\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Change it to the slope-intercept form \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Solve for \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So when you compare that with\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You can see that the slope, m, is -7, the coefficient of x,\r\n" );
document.write( "and the y-intercept is the point (0,-7).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
