Find an equation of a line passing through the point (8,9) and parallel to the line joining the points (2,7) and (1,5).

y=2x-8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this you first have to calculate the slope of the parallel line, since that would be equal to the slope of our line:

Now we insert the values into the formula:

And remember that the formula for general line is:

So the equation for the line passing through point 8,9 and parallel to the line joining 2,7 and 1,5 would be y=2x-7
