\n" );
document.write( "line containing the given point(7,8) and parallel to x+2y=3  OR y = x + 3/2
\n" );
document.write( " y = (-1/2)x + b    ||Using Pt(7,8) to solve for b
\n" );
document.write( " 8 = (-1/2)7 + b 
\n" );
document.write( " 23/2 = b
\n" );
document.write( " y = (-1/2)x + 23/2   \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
