document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "linear function f that has the indicated values
\n" );
document.write( "(-3,1) and (-8,7) points of the line
\n" );
document.write( "y = mx + b  the general slope intercept form of a linear equation.
\n" );
document.write( "m = 7-1 / -8 -(-3)
\n" );
document.write( "m = 6/-5
\n" );
document.write( "y = (-6/5)x + b using Pt (-3,1) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "1 = (-6/5)*-3 + b
\n" );
document.write( "5/5 - 18/5 = b
\n" );
document.write( "-13/5 = b
\n" );
document.write( "y = (-6/5)x - 13/5
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
