Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the given point & is parallel to the graph of each equation
\n" ); document.write( "(2,-7), y = x-2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have the same slope, the slope (m) of y = x - 2 is 1
\n" ); document.write( "therefore
\n" ); document.write( "the equation for the line that passes thru (2,-7) has a slope of 1 also
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Use the point/slope formula: y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( "y - (-7) = 1(x - 2)
\n" ); document.write( "y + 7 = x - 2
\n" ); document.write( "y = x - 2 - 7
\n" ); document.write( "y = x - 9
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Graph these two equations and you can see that is true
\n" ); document.write( " $\"+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+10%2C+x-2%2C+x-9%29+\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
