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 through the point (-1, 2), <u>parallel</u> to the line –4x – 9y = -7 OR {{{y = highlight(-4/9)x + 7/9}}}
New Line
 y = (-4/9)x + b
 2 = (-4/9)·-1 + b   |Using ordered pair (x,y):(-1,2)  to solve for b
 14/9 = b
 y = (-4/9)x + 14/9
