document.write( "line that passing through (3, -5) with slope = -(3/7)
\n" );
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( "  y = (-3/7)x + b
\n" );
document.write( " -5 = -3/7*3 + b    |using ordered pair (3,-5) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "-35/7 +9/7 = b
\n" );
document.write( "      -26/7 = b  
\n" );
document.write( "     y = (-3/7)x -26/7  OR 3x+7y = -26 in standard form
