Question 550939: The line through the point (-2, 6) with
slope -5 is ?


another problem :
A line parallel to y=8x-1 is?

Another Problems :
Find the slope of the line through the
points (-8, 5) and (-23, 2).

y = -5x + b
Use the point (-2,6) to find 'b'.
6 = -5*-2 + b
6 = 10 + b
-4 = b
y = -5x -4
.
A line parallel to y = 8x-1 is any line with slope = 8, for example.
y = 8x +1
.
m = (5-2)/(-8-(-23)) = 3/(-8+23) = 3/15 = 1/5
.
Done.
