document.write( "line passing through Pt(1,-3) and having the given slope 
\n" );
document.write( " tells us that as x decreases by 2, y increases by 5, for ex
\n" );
document.write( "(1,-3)
\n" );
document.write( "(-1,2)    | x decreases by 2, y increases by 5
\n" );
document.write( "(-3,7 )   | x decreases by 2, y increases by 5
\n" );
document.write( "plotting these 3 points and connecting with a line, 
\n" );
document.write( "one can see line crosses y-axis at y = -1/2  (the y-intercept)
\n" );
document.write( "slope intercept form:  y = mx + b   is y = (-5/2)x - 1/2
