\n" ); document.write( "Which equation represents a line which is parallel to the line \"y=%288%2F7%29x%E2%88%926\"?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a line which is parallel to the given line must have \"same\" slope and given line has a slope \"%288%2F7%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "write each in slope intercept form\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "a.
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%2B7y=35\"=>\"7y=-8x%2B35\"=>\"y=-%288%2F7%29x%2B5\"=> a slope is \"not\" \"same\"
\n" ); document.write( "b.
\n" ); document.write( "\"8x%E2%88%927y=56\"=>\"8x%E2%88%9256=7y\"=>\"%288%2F7%29x%E2%88%928=y\"=> a slope \"highlight%28IS%29\" \"same\" =>a line \"is\" parallel to the line \"y=%288%2F7%29x%E2%88%926\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "c.
\n" ); document.write( "\"+8y%E2%88%927x=%E2%88%9224\"=>\"+8y=7x%E2%88%9224\"=>\"+y=%287%2F8%29x%E2%88%923\"=> a slope is \"not\" \"same\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "d.
\n" ); document.write( "\"7x%2B8y=-8\"=>\"8y=-7x-8\"=>\"y=-%287%2F8%29x-1\"=> a slope is \"not\" \"same\" (but it is negative reciprocal of the slope of given line, so this line is perpendicular to given line)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, answer is\r
