document.write( " y = (2/3)x + b   |using ordered pair Pt(7,-4) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "-4 = 2/3*7 + b

document.write( " -26/3 = b
\n" );
document.write( " y = (2/3)x -26/3 | Pt(0,-26/3) the y-intercept
\n" );
document.write( "Note: as y increases/decreases by 2, x increases/decreases by 3, thus Pt(3,-20/3)
