You can put this solution on YOUR website! The Parallel Line To y=7x+4 Through (-8,-3)
.
Slope of: y=7x+4 is 7
A line "parallel" to this must have the same slope (7).
.
Use the slope (7) and the given point (-8, -3) and plug into the "point-slope" form:
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - (-3) = 7(x - (-8))
y + 3 = 7(x + 8)
y + 3 = 7x + 56
y = 7x + 53 (this is what they're looking for)
