Given equation y-4x=2
y=4x%2B2
slope is 4.

Line parallel to given line will also have slope of 4.

Using slope-intercept equation format, y=mx%2Bb
b=y-mx

Equation wanted will have b=y-mx using the given point to be contained and the needed slope of 4:
b=9-4%2A9
b=9-36
b=-27

Equation for the requested line:
