\n" );
document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( "Line passing thru Pt(8,-5) and parallel to 7x + 3y = 5
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " 7x + 3y = 5  OR y = (-7/3)x + 5/3  |slope of these parallel lines is m =(-7/3)
\n" );
document.write( "New Line
\n" );
document.write( "  y = (-7/3)x + b  |using orderedpari Pt(8,-5) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( " -5 = (-7/3)*8 + b
\n" );
document.write( " -40/8 + 56/8 = b
\n" );
document.write( "        2 = b
\n" );
document.write( "   y = (-7/3)x + 2  |y-intercept is Pt(0,2)
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
