Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line.

(-7,6); 8x=9y+5

The equation of the line is y =

1 answer

First find the slope m of the given line by transforming it to the form:
y=mx+b
In this case, divide both sides by 9 to give m = 8/9.
After that, use the slope-point form given in:
