\n" );
document.write( "The slope-intercept form of a straight line is:\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "y = mx + b   \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "where:
\n" );
document.write( " m = slope 
\n" );
document.write( " b = y-intercept\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "For this problem,  m = -1 and b = 4, so you can write:
\n" );
document.write( "y = -1*x + 4  \r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "or simply, you would write:
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
