Question 1047957: Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line.

Passing through
left parenthesis negative 8 comma 6 right parenthesis(−8,6)
and parallel to the line whose equation is 7 x minus 2 y minus 5 equals 07x−2y−5=0

Passes through point (-8,6) and parallel to 7x-2y-5=0.

What form do you want the equation answer?

Same slope for "parallel", so this means 7x-2y part can/will stay the same (if you want to finish in standard form).

7x-2y=5, but the constant MUST become some other value.
7x-2y=c
7%2A%28-8%29-2%2A6=c
c=-7%2A8-2%2A6
7x-2y-c=0
7x-2y-%28-7%2A8-2%2A6%29=0
7x-2y%2B%287%2A8%2B2%2A6%29=0
7x-2y%2B56%2B12=0
highlight%287x-2y%2B68=0%29
