Question

Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y=mx+b...

(-7,7); 7x=9y + 5

y = ?

Answer 1

parallel=same slope
y=mx+b , m= 7/9 , (-7,7)
7=7/9(-7)+b
7=-49/7+b
-49/7+49/7=b
0=b
y= 7/9x

Answer 2

7/9x

Answer 3

7/9 is the slope and the y-intercept is 0

Answer 4

Is 7/9 the equation of the line? Sorry to sound so freaking dumb.

Answer 5

Answer 6

well the equation of the line is y=7/9x / lol its okay!! :)
