Question

Write an equation parallel to the given line through the given line through the given point.

Answer 1

The format of a line equation is y = mx + b
When two lines are parallel, their 'm' variables are equal.
Knowing this, the unknown line equation, so far, would look like this:
y = 9x + b
Since we know that the line equation goes through the point (2, 7)
7 = 18 + b
b = -11
y = 9x - 11
