document.write( "Hi,
\n" );
document.write( "y = mx+b
\n" );
document.write( "Line parallel to  x + 6y = 5  OR y = (-1/6)x + 5/6  m = (-1/6)
\n" );
document.write( "Paralllel lines have identical slopes
\n" );
document.write( "New Line:
\n" );
document.write( " y = (-1/6)x + b    |Using ordered pair (6,8) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( " 8 = (-1/6)*6 + b
\n" );
document.write( " 9 = b
\n" );
document.write( "New Line:  y = (-1/6)x + 9 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
