Put the equation of the given line into slope-intercept form. The slope is then the coefficient of x.

-5x + 8y = 27.

8y = 5x + 27

y = 5/8 x + 33/8.........so the slope of a parallel line is the same i.e. 5/8

Now use the standard slope-intercept equation , y = mx + c, where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept. Substituting the ordered pair values for x and y, and as m is known - this gives, -3 = 5/8(-7) + c : -3 = -43/8 + c : c = 13/8

The equation of the parallel line is thus, y = 5/8x + 13/8

and multiplying throughout by 8 produces an equivalent equation, 8y = 5x + 11

What equation represents a line parallel to the y axis and passes through the points 4 and 3?

A line that is parallel to the y-axis is a vertical line. The equation of a vertical line is of the form ( x = k ), where ( k ) is a constant. Since the line passes through the points ( (4, y) ) and ( (3, y) ), the line that is parallel to the y-axis and passes through these points would have the equation ( x = 4 ) or ( x = 3 ), depending on which point you choose.
