Question 1026202
4    	x		-1	y  	=	7	
Find the slope of this line							
make y the subject							
-1	y  	=	-4    	x	+	7	
Divide by	-1						
	y  	=	4    	x		-7    	
Compare this equation with y=mx+b							
slope m =	4    						
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same							
The slope of the required line will be			4    				
m=	4    	,point	(	2	,	5	)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in							
y=mx+b							
5	=	8      	+	b			
b=	-3						
m=	4    						
Plug value of  the slope  and b					in y = mx +b		
The required equation is		y  	=	4    	x		-3
