(7,8);x+7y=6 Answer by drk(1908) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! WE start with the equation:
(i)
step 1 - solve for y to get
(ii)
step 2 find the slope. The slope is (-1/7). We want parallel slope. Parallel slopes are all the same, so we still have (-1/7).
step 3 - using y= mx + b, we put in our slope and point to get
(iii)
so,
Now write the equation as
(iv)
(
