Example 2
Find the equation of the line parallel to 7 - 4y = 0 that passes through the point (9, 2).
Step 1. Rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form.
The slope of the given line is m = 0. This is a horizontal line.
Step 2. Substitute the values for m and the given point in the point-slope form and simplify.
