Write the equation of a line that is parallel to {y=-0.75x}y=−0.75xy, equals, minus, 0, point, 75, x and that passes through the point {(8,0)}(8,0)left parenthesis, 8, comma, 0, right parenthesis.
A straight line parallel to another is one that has the same slope. The generic equation of a line can be written as y-yo = m (x-xo). If we look for a parallel line that passes through the point (8.0). We should look for a line with the values m = -0.75, xo = 8, yo = 0. Substituting in the generic equation, we have that the line sought is y = -0.75 (x-8)
