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.

Respuesta :

Answer:

y  = (-7/2)x-22

Step-by-step 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
