Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line.
Points (7, -8); 4x - 9y = 7
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

4x-9 will stay the same for "parallel".

4x-9y=4%2A7-9%2A%28-8%29
4x-9y=28%2B72
highlight%284x-9y=100%29
