## Text Solution

What is known?

Point ($$2, 14$$) at which line passes through

What is Unknown?

Equation of line and number of lines which can passes through the given point.

Reasoning:

We can think for those equations which could satisfy the given point.

#### Steps:

It can be observed that point $$(2, 14)$$ satisfies the equation $$7x − y = 0$$ and $$x − y + 12 = 0$$.

Therefore, $$7x − y = 0$$ and $$x − y + 12 = 0$$

are two lines passing through point $$(2, 14).$$

As it is known that through one point, infinite number of lines can pass through, therefore, there are infinite lines of such type passing through the given point.
