document.write( "Any line parallel to the given line has the form\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    7x + 2y = c,\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "where \"c\" is some constant.  For your case, you determine the value of the constant term \"c\" from the condition,\r\n" );

document.write( "that the point (2,3) belongs to this line.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "For it, substitute the coordinates of the given point x= 2 and y= 3 into the equation (1). You will get\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "    c = 7*2 + 2*3 = 14 + 6 = 20.\r\n" );

document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "So, your equation is \r\n" );
