\n" );
document.write( "Line passing thru Pt(2,6) and parallel to x+6y=5
\n" );
document.write( " 
\n" );
document.write( "
\n" );
document.write( "x+6y=5  OR y = (-1/6)x + 5/6  |slope of these parallel lines is m = -1/6
\n" );
document.write( "New Line
\n" );
document.write( "  y = (-1/6)x + b  |using ordered pair Pt(2,6) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "  6 = -1/3 + b
\n" );
document.write( " 18/3 + 1/3 = b
\n" );
document.write( "      19/3 = b
\n" );
document.write( "    y = (-1/6)x + 19/3     |y-intercept is Pt(0,19/3)
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
