Question 327110: Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y = mx + b
(-10,8); 7x-5y = 2
I need step by step instructions on solving this. I have worked it several times but when I get to the part of removing the parentheses and simplifying, I get lost.
Please help. Thank you!

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y = mx + b
(-10,8); 7x-5y = 2
----
The given line has slope = 7/5
---
Find y = mx +b where m = 7/5 and y = 8 when x = -10:
8 = (7/5)(-10) + b
8 = -35 + b
b = 43
===============
Equation:
y = (7/5)x + 43
===================
