(2,7)
x+8y=9
8y=-x+9
y=-x/8+9/8 (red line)
This line has a slope=-1/8.
The parallel line will also have a slope=-1/8
7=-1/8*2+b
7=-2/8+b
b=7+1/4
b=(28+1)/4
b=29/4 The Y intercept.
y=-x/8+29/4 (green line)
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, of TWO functions -x/8 +9/8 and -x/8 +29/4).
