Find an equation of the line that satisfies the conditions. Write the equation in slope-intercept form.
Through (�8, 5); parallel to the line 4x � 9y = 10
---
Find slope of the given line:
9y = 4x - 10
y = (4/9)x - (10/9)
slope = 4/9
--------------
Find equation of line with slope = 4/9 passing thru (-8,5).
----
Form: y = mx + b
5 = (4/9)*-8 + b
5 = (-32/9) + b
b = (45/9)+(32/9)
b = 77/9
----
Equation:
y (4/9)x + (77/9)
