\n" ); document.write( "y = 3x+7 has a slope of 3
\n" ); document.write( "...
\n" ); document.write( "Using the point (5, -4) and slope 3 to calculate the y intercept of the parallel line,
\n" ); document.write( "-4 = 3(5) + b
\n" ); document.write( "-4 = 15 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -4 - 15 = -19
