Question

7x+2y=14

Step 2 of 2: Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (−8,−6) and is parallel to the given line. Express your answer in slope-intercept form. Simplify your answer.

Answer 1

y = (-7/2)x-22

Explanation:

Hello:

the equation is : y = ax+b

the slope is a : a = -7/2 same slope parrallal to the line : 7x+2y=14 )

2y =-7x+14 means : y= (-7/2)+7

the line that passes through (-8, -6) : -6 = (-7/2)(-8)+b

b = -22

the equation is : y = (-7/2)x-22
