Question 1151561: I am having trouble with this problem : “Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in Y=Mx+b “. The given Line is 5x-7y=9. The given point is (-4,-3)

Parallel to 5x-7y=9 means the slope will be the same, so the left member will be unchanged. The right member will be different in order for the line you want to pass through point (-4,3).

Now solve for y.
