Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You should get a positive number
If a line is parallel to another it means they have the same slope but different y-intercepts. This means the slope of the line we are trying to find is 8. We are also given a point that is on our line, so we are ready to use your variation of point-slope form.
y = -2 + 8(x--4) Cancel the double negative.
y = -2 + 8(x+4) Final Answer
First you subtract 7 minus 19 and 7/8b minus 5/4b:
5/4b+7=7/8b+19
-7/8b -7/8b
5/4b+7=7/8b+19
-7 -7
3/8b=12
Then you divide 12 by 3/8:
b=32
