document.write( " y = (-3/4)x + b   |using ordered pair Pt(5,-3) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "-3 = -15/4 + b

document.write( " 3/4 = b
\n" );
document.write( " y = (-3/4)x + 3/4  | m = -3/4 and y-intercept is Pt(0, 3/4)
\n" );
document.write( "Note: as y increases/decreases by 3, x increases/decreases by 4 in opposite direction
\n" );
document.write( " Thus Pt(4,-2 1/4) and Pt(-4, 3 3/4) are on the Line
