parallel means the slope is the same, so the x and y coefficients are the same
\n" ); document.write( "substitute the given point to find the new constant term\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x + 2y = ? ___ (3) + 2(7) = ? ___ 17 = ?\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the new equation is ___ x + 2y = 17
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
