please help me solve this question\r

\n" ); document.write( "Questions are answered, not solved.
\n" ); document.write( "Equations are solved, and this is not one.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "You might say, \"Find the equation of the line passing thru (5,-3) and parallel...\"
\n" ); document.write( "================================
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope, m, of the line.
\n" ); document.write( "2x+y=-3
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( "y = -2x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "m = the coefficient of x in this form, = -2
\n" ); document.write( "All parallel lines have the same slope, -2
\n" ); document.write( "------
\n" ); document.write( "Now find the eqn of a line thru (5,-3) with a slope of -2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Use y = mx + b and the point to find b
\n" ); document.write( "-3 = -2*5 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 7
\n" ); document.write( "==============
\n" ); document.write( "--> y = -2x + 7
