\n" ); document.write( "\"4y-40x=24\"

\n" ); document.write( "(1) Simplify the given equation by dividing by 4
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-10x=6\"

\n" ); document.write( "(2) Any line parallel to that line has an equation of the form \"y-10x=C\" for some constant C. To find the equation of the line parallel to the given line passing through (-7,1), substitute those coordinates in the equation to find C:

\n" ); document.write( "\"1-10%28-7%29=C\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"C=71\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"y-10x=71\"

\n" ); document.write( "(3) Put the equation in the required form:

\n" ); document.write( "ANSWER: \"y=10x%2B71\"

\n" ); document.write( "
