Line b has the form $\"y=kx\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-3%2F2=k%284%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"k=-3%2F8\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-%283%2F8%29x\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have identical slopes.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"y=-%283%2F8%29x%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point to solve for $\"b\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-7=-%283%2F8%29%280%29%2Bb\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"b=-7\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28y=-%283%2F8%29x-7%29\"$
