Question 984138: find the equation of the line parallel to the given line and passing through the given point. then Graph
x +8y=10 (-1,-2). Answer by macston(5194) (Show Source):

x+8y=10
8y=-x+10
y=-(1/8)x+5/4
The slope of the parallel line will be -(1/8)
.
y=mx+b
y=-(1/8)x+b
-2=-(1/8)(-1)+b
-(16/8)=(1/8)+b
-(17/8)=b
The y-intercept is -(17/8)
.
ANSWER: The equation of the line is y=-(1/8)x-(17/8)
In standard form: x+8y=-17
.
