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.
(7,9); x+7y=2
----
Given-line DATA::
Form y = -x/7 + 2/7
Slope = -1/7
----------------------
Desired-line::
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "m" and "b"
m = -1/7
----
Solve for "b":
9 = (-1/7)7 + b
b = 10
--------
Equation:
y = (-1/7)x + 10
--------------------------
