\n" );
document.write( "  where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  
\n" );
document.write( "    y = 1*x + b  |Using order pair Pt(6,0) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "    0 = 6 + b
\n" );
document.write( "   -6 = b      y = x -6  is the equation of the Line
\n" );
document.write( "Written in Standard Form if that format is preferred...   x-y = 6
