What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (8,-7)(8,−7) and is parallel to the line x+2y=18x+2y=18?

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

What we need to know:

1) Determine the slope (m)

Rearrange this equation into slope-intercept form (this will make it easier for us to identify the slope)

Subtract x from both sides to isolate 2y

Divide both sides by 2 to isolate y

Now, we can see clearly that is in the place of m. Because parallel lines have the same slope, is therefore the slope of the line we're currently solving for. Plug into :

2) Determine the y-intercept

Plug in the point (8,-7)

Add 4 to both sides

Therefore, the y-intercept is -3. Plug this back into :

I hope this helps!

it is x equals 3   plese mark me really need it
