1) The equation of the line passing through (−4, 4) and parallel to the line whose equation is 7x − 9y − 8 = 0 is; y - 4 = ⁷/₉(x + 4)
1) We are told that the line passes through (−4, 4) and is parallel to the line whose equation is 7x − 9y − 8 = 0
Thus, let us rearrange to find the slope.
7x − 9y − 8 = 0
⇒ 9y = 7x - 8
⇒ y = ⁷/₉x - ⁸/₉
Slope; m = ⁷/₉
Now, the point slope formula is;
y − y₁ = m(x − x₁)
where;
y₁ is the y-coordinate
x₁ is the x-coordinate
m is the slope
Thus the line Passing through (−4,4) is;
y - 4 = ⁷/₉(x + 4)
2) The equation in general form is;
y = 4 + ⁷/₉x + ²⁸/₉
y = ⁷/₉x + ⁶⁴/₉
