\n" );
document.write( "using  y = mx = b
\n" );
document.write( "the graph of f is parallel to the line 3x-8y=16 OR y = (3/8)x - 2 , m = 3/8
\n" );
document.write( "Line f(x) = (3/8)x + b
\n" );
document.write( "     f(4) = 3/2 + b = -1  or  b = -5/2
\n" );
document.write( "Line f(x) = (3/8)x - 5/2 \n" );
document.write( "
