Answer:
7x-y=53
Explanation:
Given the line
[tex]7x-y=2[/tex]Making y the subject of the equation, we have:
y = 7x-2
Therefore, the slope of the line, m=7
• If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.
Therefore, the slope of the parallel line = 7
The equation of the parallel line through (8,4) will then be:
[tex]\begin{gathered} y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\ y-4=7(x-8) \\ y-4=7x-57 \\ 7x-y=-4+57 \\ 7x-y=53 \end{gathered}[/tex]
