the slope formula is
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "We want this equation in that form to calculate slope
\n" ); document.write( "7x-2y=5
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract 7x from both sides
\n" ); document.write( "-2y=5-7x
\n" ); document.write( "divide both sides by -2
\n" ); document.write( "y=5/-2-7x/-2
\n" ); document.write( "minus over minus = plus
\n" ); document.write( "y=-2.5+3.5x
\n" ); document.write( "rearrange
\n" ); document.write( "y=3.5x-2.5
\n" ); document.write( "m=3.5 and y intercept=-2.5
\n" ); document.write( "parallel lines have the same slope
\n" ); document.write( "so now back to the task
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "y=3.5x+b
\n" ); document.write( "insert the point coordinates and solve for b
\n" ); document.write( "-3=3.5*(3)+b
\n" ); document.write( "-3=10.5+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=-13.5\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y=3.5x-13.5
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
