I think the problem should read:
\n" ); document.write( "An equation of the line containing given point and parallel to given equation!
\n" ); document.write( "(4,5) 3x - 2y = 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Put the equation into the point/slope form to find the slope
\n" ); document.write( "3x - 2y = 9
\n" ); document.write( "-2y = -3x + 9
\n" ); document.write( "y has to be positive 1, divide by -2
\n" ); document.write( "y = \"3%2F2\"x - \"9%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "Write it in decimal form
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1.5x - 4.5
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have the same slope, find b in the equation
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1.5x - b
\n" ); document.write( "replace y and x with 5 & 4
\n" ); document.write( "5 = 1.5(4) + b
\n" ); document.write( "5 = 6 + b
\n" ); document.write( "5 - 6 = b
\n" ); document.write( "-1 = b
\n" ); document.write( "The equation of the parallel line
\n" ); document.write( "y = 1.5x - 1
\n" ); document.write( "In standard form
\n" ); document.write( "-1.5x + y = -1
\n" ); document.write( "we want it in integer form, mult eq by 2
\n" ); document.write( "-3x + 2y = -2
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
