SOLUTION: WRITE THE EQUATION OF THE LINE WHICH PASSES THROUGH THE POINT (2,1)AND IS PARALLEL TO THE LINE WITH EQUATION Y=5/2X+6

Question 121055:
WRITE THE EQUATION OF THE LINE WHICH PASSES THROUGH THE POINT (2,1)AND IS PARALLEL TO THE LINE WITH EQUATION Y=5/2X+6
Answer by checkley71(8403) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Y=5/2X+6 (RED LINE)HAS A SLOPE=5/2 SO THE PARALLEL LINE WILL ALSO HAVE A SLOPE=5/2
1=2*5/2+b
1=5+b
b=1-5
b=-4 IS THE Y INTERCEPT THUS THE EQUATION IS:
Y=5/2X-4 (GREEN LINE)
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 5, y from -10 to 10, of TWO functions y = 5x/2 +6 and y = 5x/2 -4).
