document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "find y when given (5,2) (2,y) and the slope is 3
\n" );
document.write( "slope = 3 = 3/1  as y increases or decreases by 3, x increases or decreases by 1
\n" );
document.write( "Here, x has decreased by 3, therefore,y has decreased by 9 (3/1 = 9/3)
\n" );
document.write( "(5,2)   (5,2) 
\n" );
document.write( "(2,y)   (2,-7)
\n" );
document.write( "y = -7
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
