The equation of a line 2008-01-20
From Sara:
The question is:

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y=3x-2 through the point (-5,9). I think the correct equation for this is y=3x+24. But I have to write it in standard form, and I can't seem to figure out how to do that. Please answer soon! Thanks!
