The equation 4x - 9y = 5 can be expressed as y+=+%284%2F9%29x+-+5%2F9.
The slope of the line parallel to y+=+%284%2F9%29x+-+5%2F9 is equal to the numerical coefficient of x which is 4%2F9.
The equation of the line with slope 4/9 and passing through (7,-6) is
y+-+%28-6%29+=+%284%2F9%29%28x+-+7%29
Answer: highlight%28y+=+%284%2F9%29x+-+82%2F9%29
