Algebra.Com's Answer #117723 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Parallel lines have the same slope. \n" ); document.write( "So you need to find the eqn of the line thru (2,5) parallel to 2x+y=3 \n" ); document.write( "---------------- \n" ); document.write( "Arrange the eqn into slope-intercept form, y = mx + b \n" ); document.write( "2x+y = 3 \n" ); document.write( "y = -2x + 3 \n" ); document.write( "So the slope m is -2 \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Then use the slope intercept eqn thru the point (2,5) \n" ); document.write( "y-y1 = m*(x-x1) \n" ); document.write( "y-5 = -2*(x-2) \n" ); document.write( "y-5 = -2x + 4 \n" ); document.write( "y = -2x + 9 slope-intercept form \n" ); document.write( "2x + y = 9 standard form \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
