Hi

Line passing thru Pt(-7,9) and parallel to 3x=8y+5

 



3x=8y+5  OR y = (3/8)x - 5/8  |slope of these parallel lines is m = 3/8

New Line

  y = (3/8)x + b  |using ordered pair Pt(-7,9) to solve for b

  9 = (3/8)*-7 + b

 72/8 + 21/8 = b

      93/8 = b

    y = (3/8)x  + 93/8      |y-intercept is Pt(0,93/8)
