Hi,
Using the standard slope-intercept form for an equation of a line y = mx + b
where m is the slope and b the y-intercept.
line passing through the point (7,3) and parallel to the line joining the points
(8,7) and
(1,6) m = 1/7
New Line parallel to the above (Note: same slope)
y = (1/7)x + b
3 = (1/7)·7 + b |Using ordered pair (x,y):(7,3) to solve for b
2 = b
y = (1/7)x + 2 OR x-7y = 14
