document.write( "The equation of the line that goes through the point ( 5 ,1 ) and is parallel to the line 
\n" );
document.write( "2x + 2y = 5   or  y = -x + 5/2, y = mx+b,   m = -1
\n" );
document.write( "New Line:  Parallel Lines have equal slopes
\n" );
document.write( "y = -1x + b   |Using Pt(5,1) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( "1 = -5 + b
\n" );
document.write( " 6 = b
\n" );
document.write( " y = -x + 6 \n" );
