\r\n" );
document.write( "When any equation of a line is solved for y, \r\n" );
document.write( "the coefficient of x on the right side is always \r\n" );
document.write( "equal to the slope of the line.  The equation\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "y = -3x\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "is solved for y, and the coefficient of x on\r\n" );
document.write( "the right side is -3.  Therefore the slope of\r\n" );
document.write( "the line is -3.\r\n" );
