document.write( "Yes! good job!
\n" );
document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "1)Use the ordered pairs given and the point-slope formula:
\n" );
document.write( " to find m
\n" );
document.write( "2)Once you have found m, substitute one of the order pairs into:
\n" );
document.write( "y = mx + b to find b\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "1)(-4,-1) and (-3,-2) 
\n" );
document.write( "m = -1/1 = -1
\n" );
document.write( "2. y = -x + 6
\n" );
document.write( "Using (-3,-2) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "-2 = 3 + b
\n" );
document.write( "-5 = b
\n" );
document.write( "y = -x -5 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
