document.write( "All these equations are in standard form. This is the procedure for changing any equation to slope-intetcept form:\r\n" );

document.write( "(a) Rewrite 13x - 11y = -12 in slope-intercept form.\r\n" );
document.write( "Isolate the y-term on the left side. (Subtract 13x from both sides.)\r\n" );
document.write( "13x - 11y = -12\r\n" );
document.write( "13x  - 11y - 13x = -13x - 12\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Combine like terms (13x-13x=0).\r\n" );
document.write( "-11y = -13x - 12\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We want the equation in \"y=\" form. \r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides by the coefficient of the y-term. (Divide by -11.)\r\n" );
document.write( "y = (-13/-11)x - (12/-11)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Simplify the equation.\r\n" );
document.write( "y = (13/11)x + (12/11)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "(b) Rewrite 9x - 7y = -7 in slope-intercept form.\r\n" );
document.write( "Isolate the y-term on the left hand side. (Subtract 9x from both sides.)\r\n" );
document.write( "9x - 7y = -7\r\n" );
document.write( "9x - 7y - 9x = -9x - 7\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Combine like terms (9x-9x=0).\r\n" );
document.write( "- 7y = -9x - 7\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "We want the equation in \"y=\" form.\r\n" );
document.write( "Divide both sides by the coefficient of the y-term. (Divide by -7.)\r\n" );
document.write( "y = (-9/-7)x - (7/-7)\r\n" );
document.write( "y = (9/7)x +1\r\n" );
