You can put this solution on YOUR website! how do you find the equation of the line through ( 1,2 ) and parallel to the line y = 7x-2
-------------
y = 7x-2 is in slope-intercept form
The slope, m = 7
Parallel lines have the same slope.
----
You can use y = mx + b and the point to find b, the y-intercept.
2 = 7*1 + b
b = -5
---
The line is
y = 7x - 5
