Question 1060847: For the following problem, the slope and one point on a line is given. Use the point-slope form to find the equation of that line. (Write your answer in slope-intercept form.)
(3,−5), m = 0
Find the slope of a line parallel to the line that crosses (3,−4) and the y-intercept is (0,2).

Solve the following equation using the four steps.
−4(5t−1)=2(3−10t)−2
Please help me. These all confuse me :(

So the line would have the form,

So plug in the point to find ,

find the slope of the line that goes through the ordered pair (3,-4)(0,2):
Slope is rise/run = (change in y)/(change in x). The slope is called m, so:
m = (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1) = (2-(-4))/(0-3) = -2
Now we have the value of m: -2.
Next:
Determine the equation of the line that has the point (0,2) on it and the slope of the line m = -2.
We have:
y = mx+b
2 = -2(0)+b
2+2(0) = b
b = 2
y = mx+b is equal to 2 = -2(0)+2
So now we write our findings in slope-intercept form:
y = -2x+2
And we're done.
