\n" );
document.write( "2x + ky = -11  Using ordered pair Pt(-3,1/2) to solve for k
\n" );
document.write( " 2*-3 + k(1/2) = -11 
\n" );
document.write( "  -6 + k/2 = -11  Multiplying each term by 2 so as all denominators = 1
\n" );
document.write( "  -12 + k = -22
\n" );
document.write( "       k = -10
\n" );
document.write( "  y = (2/10)x + 11/10
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
