I need help with writing a linear equation that is parallel when given the x intercept.
y=-2/5x+3 x-intercept= -4
:
This is the slope/intercept form y -= mx + b
Original equation
x + 3 = y
Parallel equations have the same slope
x intercept occurs when y = 0, given x = -4, find the y intercept (b)
(-4) + b = 0
+ + b = 0
b = +
therefore the parallel equation with an x intercept of -4:
y = x -
:
The graph, original equations is red,
Parallel equation with -4 x-intercept is green
