\r\n" );
document.write( "The left side of your equation will be EXACTLY THE SAME as of the given equation:\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "8x - 7y = c.       (*)\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "You need to determine the constant \"c\" in the right side.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "For it, use the condition that your line contains the given point.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "In other words, substitute the coordinates of the given point into equation (*) to find \"c\":\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "8*3 - 7*(-2) = 24 + 14 = 38.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Thus c = 38 and the equation the problem is asking for is \r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "8x - 7y = 38.\r\n" );
