You can
put this solution on YOUR website!First I checked to make sure that the point (8,-7) is not
a solution to either equation. That means neither line
passes through that point. Now all I have to do is find
2 lines. Both have to pass through (8,-7), one line must
be parallel to
and the other must be
parallel to
The general point-slope formula is
where
is slope

For line parallel to
,

For line parallel to
,

Now I'll plot all 4 lines to check solution:
It looks like a parallelogram, so OK
