Question 848251: Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form and general form. Passing through (-9,3) and parallel to the line whose equation is 2x-5y-8=0
The equation of the line in point-slope form is

NOTE: Edited because of mistake with slope-----Now been corrected.
The slopes are the same for parallel lines in the plane. Keeping in the given standard form, The equation you want to find is 2x-5y+c=0. Solve for c and then substitute the given point needed to be on the line.
The line then in standard form is .
You wanted the equation in both point-slope form and in general form.
GENERAL FORM:
Solve for y and adjust into general form, variable term plus (or minus) constant term. Solving for y will give a formula; not a value.
POINT-SLOPE FORM:
You will be able to read the slope directly from the "general" form or from the standard form; and then use the formula for slope (which is vertical change divided by horizontal change) to obtain the point-slope form.
-
You will see that slope . Doing the steps, you will find .
