Point slope form of a linear equation: 
\n" );
document.write( "As the lines are parallel, their slopes are equal, so required equation will have slope, or m = 2
\n" );
document.write( "y - 2 = 2(x - - 1) ------ Substituting 2 for m (slope), and point (x, y) or (- 1, 2) in point slope form of a linear equation
\n" );
document.write( "y - 2 = 2(x + 1)
\n" );
document.write( "y - 2 = 2x + 2
\n" );
