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( "I. solve for y
\n" );
document.write( "4x + y= -7    |solving for y
\n" );
document.write( "   y = -4x - 7   Slope m = -4 and y-intercept is -7
\n" );
document.write( "II. Plot the y-intercept Pt(0,7)
\n" );
document.write( "III. using the slope of -4/1 to plot one or two more points: (-1,-3)for ex
\n" );
document.write( " m = -(4/1) as y increases/decreases by 4, x value changes by 1 in the opposite direction
\n" );
document.write( "IV.  connecting points with a line completes the graphing
