Question

What is the equation of the line parallel to x + 7y = 28 and passes through the point (14,0)?

A) y = -7x - 2

B) y = -1/7x + 2

C) y = 1/7x - 2

D) y = 7x + 2

Answer 1

The line that is parallel to the given one has to have the same slope.

It should be in the form, x + 7y = B nd it also satisfies the coordinate (14,0) so let's plug this in and solve for B

14 + 0 = B, B = 14

The euation = x + 2y = 14, in standard form of y = mx + b ==> y = -x/7 + 2
