Question 407970: I have tried to solve these types of problems and am having no luck at figuring out the process of coming up with an equation. any help is greatly appreciated. Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y=mx+b
(-6,3); 8x=7+4

the "y" has been omitted from the given equation
for a general solution technique:
parallel lines have the same slope ; this means that the coefficients for the x and y terms don't change
to find the new constant term ; plug in the x,y coordinates of the given point and solve for the constant term
to express the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b) , just solve the equation for y
