SOLUTION: what equation of a line parrel to the line with equation, 8x-6y=7 and through point (6,-1)

Question 800584: what equation of a line parrel to the line with equation, 8x-6y=7 and through point (6,-1)
Answer by Finavon(81) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
In the form y=mx+c
m=slope and c=intercept (y @ x=0)
Original: 8x-6y=7 becomes
At x=6 y=8-7/6=41/6
This is above (6,-1)
Shift intercept down by this amount
New:
slope unchanged; intercept

removing fractions:
6y=8x-54 or 4x-27=3y
Check (6,-1) 24-27=-3
Graphically:
