Find the slope-intercept form of the equation that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line.
(2,-7) and y=x-2
-----
slope of the given line = m = 1
---------------
Form of the answer:: y = mx + b
----
Substitute for x,y, and m ; solve for "b":
-7 = 1*2 + b
b = -9
------
Equation:
y = x - 9

Hi there,
y = x - 2
Lines that are parallel to one another
have the same slope.
m1 = m2
Using the line equation:
y - b = m(x - a)
with slope = 1
and (a,b) = (2,-7)
y - b = m(x - a)
y - (-7) = 1(x - 2)
y + 7 = x - 2
y = x - 2 - 7
y = x - 9.
Hope this helps :-)
