I have been struggling to figure out this problem and I was wondering if someone could help me? I would deeply appreciate it!! Please and Thank you!!
\n" ); document.write( "Find an equation in standard form for the line described.
\n" ); document.write( "Through Q(-3,2) and parallel to the line containing (2,3) and (1,-2)
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------
\n" ); document.write( "First, find the slope of the line thru the 2 points (2,3) and (1,-2)
\n" ); document.write( "Slope m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
\n" ); document.write( "m = (3 - (-2))/(2-1)
\n" ); document.write( "m = 5
\n" ); document.write( "Being parallel means the lines have the same slope.
\n" ); document.write( "Use the slope intercept form:
\n" ); document.write( "y-y1 = m*(x-x1) (x1,y1) is the point Q (-3,2)
\n" ); document.write( "y-2 = 5*(x-(-3))
\n" ); document.write( "y-2 = 5x + 15
\n" ); document.write( "5x - y = -17 standard form
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
