Get it into the form
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+mx+%2B+b\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m\"$ = slope
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b\"$ = y intercept
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+%2B+x+=+-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract $\"x\"$ from both sides
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y+=+-x+-+4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m+=+-1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b+=+-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The y-intercept is $\"y+=+-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Note that if I make $\"x+=+0\"$ in the equation,
\n" ); document.write( "I get $\"y+=+-4\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
