3x-5y=-7 and goes through(-8,-2)
\n" ); document.write( "-5y=-3x-7
\n" ); document.write( "y=-3x/-5-7/-5
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x/5+7/5
\n" ); document.write( "Here we have a slope=3/5
\n" ); document.write( "A paralel line will also have a slope=3/5.
\n" ); document.write( "-2=3/5*-8+b
\n" ); document.write( "-2=-24/5+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=-2+24/5
\n" ); document.write( "b=(-2*5+24)/5
\n" ); document.write( "b=(-10+24)/5
\n" ); document.write( "b=14/5 the y intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "y=3x/5+14/5
\n" ); document.write( "\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-6%2C+5%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+3x%2F5+%2B14%2F5%29+\" (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, 3x/5 +24/5).
