Every line parallel to the line
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B6y+=+7\"
\n" ); document.write( "will have an equation of the form
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B6y+=+N\"
\n" ); document.write( "where N can be any number.

\n" ); document.write( "If you are given the coordinates of a point on the line, then those coordinates must satisfy the equation of the line. So substitute the given x and y coordinates to find the value of N for your particular example.

\n" ); document.write( "\"4%2B6%285%29+=+N\"

\n" ); document.write( "So your N is 34, and an equation for the line in your example is
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2B6y=34\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
