Find an equation of the line that is parallel to the line
\n" ); document.write( "If a line is to be parallel to:
\n" ); document.write( "y=-4/3x+7
\n" ); document.write( "It must have the same slope: -4/3
\n" ); document.write( "That, along with the given point of (7,3) is plugged into the \"point-slope\" form:
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1 = m(x-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y-3 = (-4/3)(x-7)
\n" ); document.write( "y-3 = (-4/3)(x)- 7(-4/3)
\n" ); document.write( "y-3 = (-4/3)(x)+ 28/3
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-4/3)(x)+ 28/3 +3
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-4/3)(x)+ 28/3 + 9/3
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-4/3)(x)+ 37/3 (this is what you're looking for)\r
