Let the line have the form
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+m%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where $\"m\"$ = slope
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "given:
\n" ); document.write( "slope = $\"+6%2F5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%286%2F5%29%2Ax+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in (-3,3) for x and y
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3+=+%286%2F5%29%2A%28-3%29+%2B+b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+15+=+-18+%2B+5b+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+5b+=+15+%2B+18+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+b+=+33%2F5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "The equation is
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%286%2F5%29%2Ax+%2B+33%2F5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "check:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+y+=+%286%2F5%29%2Ax+%2B+33%2F5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+3+=+%286%2F5%29%2A%28-3%29+%2B+33%2F5+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+15+=+-18+%2B+33+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+15+=+15+\"$
\n" ); document.write( "OK \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
