\n" );
document.write( "Hi
\n" );
document.write( " 3x+4y=12  |careful: hopping over the = with the 3x changes the sign of that term
\n" );
document.write( "('Hopping' is the same as Adding -3x to both sides of the Equation)
\n" );
document.write( "y =  
\n" );
document.write( "m = -3/4 
\n" );
document.write( "***Using point-slope form, P(2,-5)
\n" );
document.write( " y + 5 = (-3/4)(x - 2)
\n" );
document.write( "   y = (-3/4)x + 3/2 - 5  (-5 = -10/2)
\n" );
document.write( "   y = (-3/4)x - 7/2 \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
