I need to find an equation of the line that is parallel to the line y=7x-3 and passes thru the point (8,7).
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "okay, \"slope=m\" of line \"y=7x-3\" is \"m%5B1%5D=7\". Since the line are parallel, \"m%5B1%5D=m%5B2%5D=7\".
\n" ); document.write( "Therefore, thru point (8,7), we can get the y-intercept via Slope-intercept Form: \"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7=7%2A8%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"7=56%2Bb\" ----->\"b=7-56=-49\", y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "Then, line eqn is----->\"highlight%28y=7x-49%29\", or \"highlight%28-7x%2By%2B49=0%29\" Standard Form
\n" ); document.write( "We see the graph:
\n" ); document.write( " -------> RED, Line \"y=7x-3\"; GREEN, Line \"y=7x-49\"
