y=-1/4x+7 (red line)
\n" ); document.write( "and passes through the ordered pair (0,15).
\n" ); document.write( "THIS LINE HAS A SLOPE=-1/4.
\n" ); document.write( "THE PARALLEL LINE WILL ALSO HAVE A SLOPE=-1/4
\n" ); document.write( "15=-1/4*0+b
\n" ); document.write( "15=b the Y intercept of the parallel line.
\n" ); document.write( "Y=-x/4+15 (green line)is the equation for the parallel line passing through (0,15).
