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( " In this case b = 8 and 
\n" );
document.write( "the slope is -3/2 = -1 using   (5-8)/(3-0)
\n" );
document.write( "Slope can also be determined by graphing. 
\n" );
document.write( "Note:line slants to left, slope is negative 
\n" );
document.write( "And as y changes by one, so does x
\n" );
document.write( " y = -x + 8
