Algebra.Com's Answer #155219 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find an equation of a line parrallel to -3x-3y=5 \n" ); document.write( "------------ \n" ); document.write( "All parallel lines have the same slope. \n" ); document.write( "Find the slope of the given line by putting it into slope-intercept form (that means solve for y). \n" ); document.write( "-3x-3y=5 \n" ); document.write( "-3y = 3x+5 \n" ); document.write( "y = -x - 5/3 \n" ); document.write( "So the slope, m, is -1 \n" ); document.write( "Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) to find a line thru the point (x1,y1) \n" ); document.write( "Use any point. \n" ); document.write( "Thru (0,0): \n" ); document.write( "y = -x That's one line that's parallel. \n" ); document.write( "Thru (2,4): \n" ); document.write( "y-4 = -1*(x-1) \n" ); document.write( "y-4 = -x+1 \n" ); document.write( "y = -x + 5 That's another. \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "Thru any point: \n" ); document.write( "y = -x + any number --> lines parallel to the given line. \n" ); document.write( "Or, x+y = any number \n" ); document.write( " |
