Find the slope-intercept form of the line satisfying the given conditions.
\n" ); document.write( "slope 4/7, y intercept 3:
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slope-Intercept form of a line is represented by:
\n" ); document.write( "\"y=mx%2Bb\"
\n" ); document.write( "Where m is the slope, and b is the Y-intercept.
\n" ); document.write( "So for this problem, the answer is pretty simple:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28y=4x%2F7%2B3%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "parallel to 2x+4=5, passing through (1,2) \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Did you write this correctly? I'll assume you did...
\n" ); document.write( "First, simplify the equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x%2B4=5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2x=1\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"x=1%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "This means that you have a line parallel to the Y axis that crosses the X axis
\n" ); document.write( "at the point 1/2. Note, this line has infinite slope (goes straight up).\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Lines that are parallel have equal slope. So the line they are looking for also has infinite slope, and crosses the X axis at the point 1. So it's equation is:
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28x=1%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "You can graph this out to check that it's right.
\n" ); document.write( "=============================
