Find the equation of the line that contains the point (-3,-8) and is parallel to the line 6x + 7y = 13. Write the equation in slope-intercer Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. (Use integers or fractions for any numbers in the equation.) l​

Step-by-step explanation:

First we put our equation into slope intercept form by subtracting 6x from both sides and then dividing by 7.

6x + 7y = 13 -->

The line is parallel which means they both have the same slope.

Now we need to find b. this is where the given point comes in. We can find b by substituting -3 for x and -8 for y.  

Then we multiply and give the numbers a common denominator so it is easier to manipulate. Remember that a negative times a negative is a positive.

Now we subtract from both sides so that the equation equals b

Finally we but b back into the equation
