Question 669457: Write an equation in standard form for the line described.
Through (7,9), parallel to x+6y=5

x+6y=5
6y=5-x
y=5/6-x/6
y=-x/6+5/6;
Comparing with y=mx+c form,the slope of given line= m = -1/6
Any line parallel to this line will have same slope.
Equation of line parallel to it will be
y-Y=m(x-X)
y-9=(-1/6)(x-7)
=(7-x)/6
6y-54=7-x
x+6y=61.
