passing through (2,5) and parallel to y= -6x + 7

Question

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in standard form.

 

how do i solve this equation step by step?

Answer 1

parallel lines all have the same slope, so borrow m from the stated line's equation.

now that you have m and a point, oughtn't you to use Point Slope form (and then manipulate it to get to standard form)?
