A few simple algebra operations will do it
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 9y = 3
\n" ); document.write( "subtract 3x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-9y = -3x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "y has to be positive, multiply both sides by -1
\n" ); document.write( "9y = 3x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "The coefficient of y has to be 1, divide both sides by 9
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"3%2F9\"$ x - $\"3%2F9\"$
\n" ); document.write( "reduce the fractions
\n" ); document.write( "y = $\"1%2F3\"$ x - $\"1%2F3\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where
\n" ); document.write( "m = 1/3 and b = -1/3 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
