Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Since any two parallel lines have the same slope we know the slope of the unknown line is \"-4%2F3\" (its from the slope of \"y=%28-4%2F3%29%2Ax%2B7%2F3\" which is also \"-4%2F3\").\n" ); document.write( "Also since the unknown line goes through (-5,2), we can find the equation by plugging in this info into the point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Point-Slope Formula:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\" where m is the slope and (\"x%5B1%5D\",\"y%5B1%5D\") is the given point

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-2=%28-4%2F3%29%2A%28x%2B5%29\" Plug in \"m=-4%2F3\", \"x%5B1%5D=-5\", and \"y%5B1%5D=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-2=%28-4%2F3%29%2Ax%2B%284%2F3%29%28-5%29\" Distribute \"-4%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-2=%28-4%2F3%29%2Ax-20%2F3\" Multiply
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28-4%2F3%29%2Ax-20%2F3%2B2\"Add \"2\" to both sides to isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28-4%2F3%29%2Ax-20%2F3%2B6%2F3\" Make into equivalent fractions with equal denominators

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28-4%2F3%29%2Ax-14%2F3\" Combine the fractions

\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%28-4%2F3%29%2Ax-14%2F3\" Reduce any fractions
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So the equation of the line that is parallel to \"y=%28-4%2F3%29%2Ax%2B7%2F3\" and goes through (\"-5\",\"2\") is \"y=%28-4%2F3%29%2Ax-14%2F3\"
