First find the slope of the equation by
putting it in the form
where = slope
The slope is
Any line parallel to this line will also
have slope =
------------------
(8,-4)
Use the point-slope formula
Multiply both sides by
--------------
Check:
what is the slope?
slope is
does it go through (8,-4) ?
OK
