Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Since any two parallel lines have the same slope we know the slope of the unknown line is \"1.2\" (its from the slope of \"y=1.2%2Ax-1.4\" which is also \"1.2\").\n" ); document.write( "Also since the unknown line goes through (4,-9), we can find the equation by plugging in this info into the point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Point-Slope Formula:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\" where m is the slope and (\"x%5B1%5D\",\"y%5B1%5D\") is the given point
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%2B9=1.2%2A%28x-4%29\" Plug in \"m=1.2\", \"x%5B1%5D=4\", and \"y%5B1%5D=-9\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%2B9=1.2%2Ax-%281.2%29%284%29\" Distribute \"1.2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%2B9=1.2%2Ax-4.8\" Multiply
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=1.2%2Ax-4.8-9\"Subtract \"-9\" from both sides to isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=1.2%2Ax-13.8\" Combine like terms
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So the equation of the line that is parallel to \"y=1.2%2Ax-1.4\" and goes through (\"4\",\"-9\") is \"y=1.2%2Ax-13.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So here are the graphs of the equations \"y=1.2%2Ax-1.4\" and \"y=1.2%2Ax-13.8\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " graph of the given equation \"y=1.2%2Ax-1.4\" (red) and graph of the line \"y=1.2%2Ax-13.8\"(green) that is parallel to the given graph and goes through (\"4\",\"-9\")
