\n" );
document.write( "Line passing thru Pt(6,8) and parallel to 4x+y=6
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "4x+y=6  OR y = -4x + 6  |slope of these parallel lines is m = -4
\n" );
document.write( "New Line
\n" );
document.write( "  y = -4x + b  |using orderedpari Pt(6,8) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "  8 = -4*6 + b
\n" );
document.write( "        32 = b
\n" );
document.write( "   y = -4x + 32  |y-intercept is Pt(0,32)
\n" );
