document.write( "Using 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 has a slope of -1
\n" );
document.write( " y = (-1)*x + b  using ordered pair Pt(-1,4) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( " 4 = -1*-1 + b
\n" );
document.write( " 3 = b
\n" );
document.write( "y = -x + 3
