document.write( "Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b 
\n" );
document.write( "  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  
\n" );
document.write( "equation of line with m=2/3 and passing thru Pt((5,-3)
\n" );
document.write( "  y = (2/3)x + b
\n" );
document.write( " -3= (2/3)*5 + b  |Using ordered pair Pt(5,-3) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( " -19/3 = b
\n" );
document.write( " y = (2/3)x -19/3   OR  2x -3y = 19 in standard form \n" );
