Question 197507: Please help with this problem Write the equation for a line that is parallel to the line y=-3x/5+25 and goes thru the point [11,-3]
Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y=-3x/5+25 (green line)
thru [11,-3] with a slope(m)=-3
-3=-3*11/5+b
-3=-33/5+b
b=-3+33/5
b=(-3*5+33)/5
b=(-15+33)/5
b=18/5
b=18/5 ans. for the y intercept.
y=-3x/5+18/5 (red line)
(graph 300x200 pixels, x from -6 to 25, y from -10 to 25,of two functions -3x/5 +18/5 and -3x/5 +25).
