Hi,

Write an equation line containing Pt(-7,2) and parallel to the line 8x=3y+7



*Note: The standard point-slope form for an equation of a line y = mx + b  

where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.  

8x=3y+7    Solving for y to put this equation into the slope-intercept form

8x - 7 = 3y

(8/3)x -(7/3) = y

Slope is (8/3)   Parellel lines have equal slopes

New line:

y = (8/3)x + b   Using ordered pair(-7,2) to solve for b

2 = (8/3)*(-7) + b  

6/3 +(56/3) = b

62/3 = b

the equation of the line containing Pt(-7,2) and parallel to the line 8x=3y+7

y = (8/3)x + 62/3
