Question 369055: Would someone help me with these questions?

1. The line passing through (7,y) and (1,0) is parallel to the joining (4,4) and (-2,1). Find Y


2.Write the point slope form of the line's equation satisfying the given condition. Then use the point slope form of the equation to write the slope intercept form. Slope m=2 passing through(7,4))

Hi,
1) line passing through (7,y) and (1,0)parallel to linethe joining (4,4) and (-2,1).

(4,4) and (-2,1)
m = (1-4)/(-2-4) = -3/-6 = 1/2
line passing through (7,y) and (1,0) with slope = 1/2
Note: x increased by 6, therefore y must increase by 3 (1/2 = 3/6)
y = 3
2)
Slope m = 2 passing through(7,4))
y - 4 = 2(x - 7)
y - 4 = 2x - 14
y = 2x -10
