Use the point slope formula to write an equation of a line that passes through (-6,7) and is parallel to the line 4x - y = 0.
===============================================
First we will but this in slope intercept form;
4x-y=0
-y=-4x+0
y=4x
Lines that are parallel have the same slope;
So the slope of the new equation;
slope = 4
(y-Y1)=4(x-X1)
y-7=4(x-(-6))
y-7=4x+24
y=4x+24+7
y=4x+31
