The parallel line would have the same form, $\"9x=8y%2BD\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point to solve for $\"D\"$ .
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9%28-7%29=8%288%29%2BD\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-63=64%2BD\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"D=-127\"$
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9x=8y-127\"$
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
