Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y=mx+b.
\n" ); document.write( "(7,9); x+7y=2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Given-line DATA::
\n" ); document.write( "Form y = -x/7 + 2/7
\n" ); document.write( "Slope = -1/7
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Desired-line::
\n" ); document.write( "Form: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"m\" and \"b\"
\n" ); document.write( "m = -1/7
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\":
\n" ); document.write( "9 = (-1/7)7 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 10
\n" ); document.write( "--------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "y = (-1/7)x + 10
\n" ); document.write( "--------------------------
