Question

what is the equation of a line parallel to y= 7x-8 that passes through (5,-2)

Answer 1

The required line is Parallel to y = 7x - 8

This means their slopes are equal

So m = 7

Now writing the equation of straight line,

[y - (-2)] = m(x - 5)
y + 2 = 7(x - 5)
y + 2 = 7x - 35
7x - y - 37 = 0
