Answer:

y-2 = 2/3(x-8)

Explanation:

We have the line 6x-9y = -7

Let's rewrite it in the form y=mx+b

6x-9y = -7

Subtract 6x from each side

6x-6x-9y = -7 -6x

-9y = -6x-7

Divide by -9

-9y/-9 = -6x/-9 -7/-9

y = 2/3 x + 7/9

The slope is 2/3

If the line is parallel, the slope will be the same so the slope will be 2/3

We have the slope and a point (8,2) on the new line, so we can use the point slope form of a line

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y-2 = 2/3(x-8)
