4 x -5 y = 7
\n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of this line
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "-5 y = -4 x + 7 0.8
\n" ); document.write( "Divide by -5
\n" ); document.write( " y = 0.8 x + -1.4
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 0.8
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the required line will be 0.8
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "m=0.8 ,point(-5,7)
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "7=-4.00+b
\n" ); document.write( "b=11
\n" ); document.write( "m=0.8
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation isy=0.8x+11
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
