<PRE><B>Question 995720</B>
The equation of the line that goes through the point (2,3) and
is parallel to the line going through the points (&amp;#8722;5,4) and (6,1) 
has slope m = 
and equation 
------
slope of the given line:: (1-4)(6--5) = -3/11
-------
Note:: Slope of your parallel line has the same slope.
-------
Form of equation you want::
y = mx + b
Solve for &quot;b&quot;::
3 = (-3/11)2 + b
----
33/11 = -6/11 + b
b = 39/11
-----
Equation:
y = (-3/11)x + (39/11)
