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)
