document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "As you go two units to the right from the point (4,55), you go 83-55 = 28 units up along the straight line.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that the slope is 28/2 = 14.     the ANSWER for the slope\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To find y-intercept, you should go 4 units to the left from the point (4,55).\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Hence, you should move 14*4 = 56 units down along the straight line.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus, y-intercept is at y= 55-56 = -1.    the ANSWER for the y-intercept\r\n" );
