y=mx+b.
\n" ); document.write( "(-5,9);8x=5y+7
\n" ); document.write( "5Y=8X-7
\n" ); document.write( "Y=8X/5-7/5 (RED LINE)THIS LINE HAS A SLOPE(m)=8/5.
\n" ); document.write( "THE LINE THROUGH (-5,9) & PARALLEL TO THIS LINE ALSO HAS A SLOPE=8/5. tHUS:
\n" ); document.write( "9=8/5*-5+b
\n" ); document.write( "9=8*-5/5+b
\n" ); document.write( "9=-40/5+b
\n" ); document.write( "9=-8=b
\n" ); document.write( "b=9+8
\n" ); document.write( "b=17
\n" ); document.write( "THUS THE LINE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS:
\n" ); document.write( "Y=8X/5+17 (GREEN LINE).
