document.write( "Line passing thru Pt(-7,9) and parallel to 3x=8y+5
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "3x=8y+5  OR y = (3/8)x - 5/8  |slope of these parallel lines is m = 3/8
\n" );
document.write( "New Line
\n" );
document.write( "  y = (3/8)x + b  |using ordered pair Pt(-7,9) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "  9 = (3/8)*-7 + b
\n" );
document.write( " 72/8 + 21/8 = b
\n" );
document.write( "      93/8 = b
\n" );
document.write( "    y = (3/8)x  + 93/8      |y-intercept is Pt(0,93/8)
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
