Write an equation ot the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y=mx + b (2,7); x + 5y = 7 Click to expand... Simple enough y-y1=m ( x- x1 ) 5y=-x+7 original line transform to y=mx+b get m from there ( parallel lines have the same slope ) Then apply y-7=m( x-2 )
