write the equation of the line through (7,1) parallel to the graph y=5/3x-2
Answer:
The line will have the same slope : m=5%2F3 since they are parallel.
Now we can use slope, point format to write the equation:

y-1 = %285%2F3%29%2A%28x-7%29
simplify it: y - 1 = %285%2F3%29x+-+35%2F3
y = %285%2F3%29x+-+35%2F3+%2B+1
y = %285%2F3%29x+-+32%2F3
