Question 548314: Find an equation of the line satisfying the specified conditions:
through (-7,2) and parallel to (-8x+7y=49) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! through (-7,2) and parallel to (-8x+7y=49)
-------------------
slope of the given equation is 8/7
----
Find equation if slope = 8/7 and y = 2 when x = -7:
----
y = mx + b
2 = (8/7)(-7) + b
b = 2 + 8 = 10
===================
Equation: y = (8/7)x + 10
==========================
