(−7,0),5x+2y=6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "First, determine slope of:
\n" ); document.write( "5x+2y=6
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Do this by putting it into \"slope-intercept\" form:
\n" ); document.write( "5x+2y=6
\n" ); document.write( "2y = -5x+6
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/2)x + 3
\n" ); document.write( "slope is -5/2
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "since our line is PARALLEL it must have ths same slope.
\n" ); document.write( "taking our slope (-5/2) and the point (-7,0) plug it into the \"point-slope\" form:
\n" ); document.write( "y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - 0 = (-5/2)(x - (-7))
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/2)(x + 7)
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/2)x + (-5/2)7
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/2)x + (-35/2)
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-5/2)x - 35/2 (this is what they're looking for)\r
