Given:
Find:
Solution: We know that our equation is going to parallel to the line that was given therefore the slope would stay the same at 5/7. We also have a point so we can plug in the values into the point-slope form, distribute, and solve for y.
<u>Plug in the values</u>
<u>Distribute</u>
<u>Add 8 to both sides</u>
Therefore, the final equation that follows the description that was provided in the problem statement is y = 5/7x + 51/7.
