\n" );
document.write( "line that has a slope of -5 (-5/1) and goes through the point (-4, 9)
\n" );
document.write( " y - 9 = -5(x+4)
\n" );
document.write( "OR
\n" );
document.write( " y = -5x -11
\n" );
document.write( "Note: as y increases/decreases by 5, x value changes by 1 in the other direction
