document.write( "Equation that sought-equation is parallel to: 4x + y - 2 = 0, or in STANDARD form: 4x + y = 2\r\n" );
document.write( "As the lines are parallel, left-side of sought-equation is the same.\r\n" );
document.write( "We then get: 4x + y = 4(x) + y\r\n" );
document.write( "             4x + y = 4(4) + - 3 ----- Substituting given point, (4, - 3), on right-side\r\n" );
document.write( "             4x + y = 16 - 3\r\n" );
document.write( "           4x + y = 13 <=== Sought-equation, in STANDARD FORM
