document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  
\n" );
document.write( "where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
\n" );
document.write( "Line parallel to the following  
\n" );
document.write( " x +6y=5   Solving for y to put into the slope-intercept form
\n" );
document.write( "y = -x/6 + 5/6  m = (-1/6)
\n" );
document.write( "New line parallel to this line has the same slope
\n" );
document.write( "y = -x/6 + b  Using ordered pair Pt(2,4) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "4 = -2/6 + b
\n" );
document.write( "4 + 1/3 =  13/3 = b
\n" );
document.write( "y = -x/6 + 13/3
\n" );
document.write( "

document.write( " \n" );
