document.write( "Using the slope-intercept general form of an equation of a line:
\n" );
document.write( "y = mx + b where m is th eslope and b the y-intercept
\n" );
document.write( "points (2,6) and (8,9) on the line
\n" );
document.write( "slope is = (9-6)/(8-2) = 3/6 = 1/2
\n" );
document.write( "y = (1/2)x + b  Using (2,6) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "6 = 1 + b
\n" );
document.write( "5 = b\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "y = (1/2)x + 5  the equation of the line
\n" );
