document.write( "3x + 4y + c = 0,     (1)\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "To find \"c\", use the condition that y-intercept is 2.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "It means that the point (x,y) = (0,2) lies on the line (1), i.e.\r\n" );

document.write( "3*0 + 4*2 + c = 0,\r\n" );
