You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 4/3 x -7
\n" ); document.write( "Compare this equation with y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "slope m = 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same m= 1.33 ,point ( 7 , 2 )
\n" ); document.write( "Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
\n" ); document.write( "y=mx+b
\n" ); document.write( "2 = 9.33 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b= -7.33
\n" ); document.write( "m= 4/3
\n" ); document.write( "Plug value of the slope and b in y = mx +b
\n" ); document.write( "The required equation is y = 4/3x -22/3
\n" ); document.write( " y = 4/ 3 x-22/ 3
