The line parallel to y=9x+4 that passes through (2,7)

The equation of the  line parallel to y=9x+4 that passes through (2,7) is y = 9x - 11

The equation of a line in point-slope form is expressed as:

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

m is the slope of the line

(x0, y0) is any point on the line

Given the equation y = 9x + 4, the slope of the line is expressed as:

mx = 9x

m = 9

We will use the same slope since the lines are parallel

Substitute the slope and the given point into the formula;

y - 7 = 9 (x -2)

y - 7 = 9x - 18

y = 9x -18 +7

y = 9x - 11

Hence the equation of the  line parallel to y=9x+4 that passes through (2,7) is y = 9x - 11
