The line's equation, expressed as standard form, is parallel to all lines in the plane which are 2x-7y=c for all real numbers c, . In other words, the slopes must be equal.

The line you look for must contain the given point, (4,-6), meaning that this point must satisfy 2x-7y=c. Substitute the point and evaluate c.
