Write an equationn of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express in the form y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "(-7,8); 4x=9y+7
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of the given line.
\n" ); document.write( "9y = 4x+7
\n" ); document.write( "y = (4/9)x + (7/9)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "slope = 4/9
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Form of your equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "8 = (4/9)(-7) + b
\n" ); document.write( "8 = -28/9 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = (72+28)/9
\n" ); document.write( "b = 100/9
\n" ); document.write( "==================
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (4/9)x + (100/9)
\n" ); document.write( "====================
