Parallel lines have identical slopes.
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of your new line is identical to the old line,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"m=7\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point-slope form of the line,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-y%5Bp%5D=m%28x-x%5Bp%5D%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( "where $\"x%5Bp%5D=8\"$ and $\"y%5Bp%5D=7\"$ ,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-7=7%28x-8%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y-7=7x-56\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=7x-49%29\"$
