\n" );
document.write( "*Note: If these lines are to be parallel, they must have same slope
\n" );
document.write( "2x-7y=4.
\n" );
document.write( "7y = 2x - 4
\n" );
document.write( "y = (2/7)x - 4 slope (2/7)
\n" );
document.write( "3x +ky = 5
\n" );
document.write( "y = (3/k)x - (5/k)
\n" );
document.write( "3/k = 2/7
\n" );
document.write( "3 = 2/7 * k
\n" );
document.write( "3*(7/2) = k
\n" );
document.write( "21/2 = k
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
