document.write( "The standard slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b where m is the slope
\n" );
document.write( " and b is the y-intercept.  The y-intercept is the point where the line crosses

document.write( " the y-axis.

document.write( "solving for y in the equation given as an equation for the line: 
\n" );
document.write( "x + 2y = 3
\n" );
document.write( "2y = -x + 3
\n" );
document.write( "y = (-1/2)x + 3
\n" );
document.write( "slope of this line is (-1/2)
\n" );
document.write( "y intercept is 3
\n" );
document.write( "line crosses the y axis at Pt(0,3)
