SOLUTION: I need to determine the line that passes through the points (3,9) and is parallel to the line 7 y - 28x = 2. The answer needs to be in slope intercept form Any help would be

Question 38433: I need to determine the line that passes through the points (3,9) and is parallel to the line 7 y - 28x = 2. The answer needs to be in slope intercept form

Any help would be great !!
Answer by fractalier(6550) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The slope of the line you want is equal to the slope of 7y - 28x = 2, since parallel lines have equal slopes. The slope here is found by solving for y:
7y = 28x = 2
y = 4x + 2/7
Thus m = 4
Now use the point-slope formula:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 9 = 4(x - 3)
y - 9 = 4x - 12
y = 4x - 3
