Question 789818: Write the equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions. Express the final equation in standard form.
Contains the point (8, 5) and is parallel to the line
x + 4y = 9

Keep the left member as it is, because this will keep the slope the same, meaning that the parallel line needed will or can use this member.

Your constant term will need to change, according to the point that you want included on this new line.

You want x+4y=C, and you plug-in the needed point (8,5) to find what is the value for C.
8+4*5=C
8+20=C
28=C

Your line is then
That is in standard form.
