+37159 Here ...I copied and pasted the info at the link:
x + 3y = -5. is tha same as y = -1/3 x - 5/3 slope, m = -1/3
parallel line is of the form y = -1/3 x + b
sub in the given point 2 = -1/3 (-7) + b shows b = -1/3
so line eq becomes y = - 1/3 x -1/3
re-arranged y + 1/3 x = -1/3 multiply by 3
x + 3y = - 1 now you can calc B-A
