Question 1002656: A)
Find an equation of the line through (-6, 10), parallel to the line with equation 3x – 7y = 14. Write the new equation in point-slope form.




















B) Convert the equation of the new line found in problem #14 to standard form, Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are integers.

(A)
Only the right hand member will be different; the line is to be parallel.



-
If you want in point-slope form, the slope is .
Equation: , directly plugging the values into the equation form.


(B)
You could convert if you want, starting from the found point-slope form of the equation, but the use of standard form was done first, using some knowledge of how standard form works.
