Example Question #7 : How To Find The Equation Of A Parallel Line
A line is parallel to the line of the equation
and passes through the point 
Give the equation of the line in standard form.
None of the other choices gives the correct response.
Two parallel lines have the same slope. Therefore, it is necessary to find the slope of the line of the equation
Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form 
Add 
Multiply both sides by 
The slope of this line is 
To find 
Subtract 
The slope-intercept form of the equation is
To rewrite in standard form with integer coefficients:
Multiply both sides by 7:
Add 
the correct equation in standard form.
