Algebra.Com's Answer #45806 by tanimachatterjee(60) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! y = mx + b\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This is called the slope-intercept form because \"m\" is the slope and \"b\" gives the y-intercept . i think u know about the slope of the straight line.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "equation of the straight line which is parallel to the line y=x+5 is y=x+k \n" ); document.write( " where k is a constant \n" ); document.write( "y=x +k passes through ( 3,2) \n" ); document.write( "therefore 2=3+k \n" ); document.write( " k=-1 \n" ); document.write( "required equation is y=x-1 \n" ); document.write( " slope intercept form is y=x-1 \n" ); document.write( "equation of the st. line parallel to the line y=-4x+2 is y=-4x + h \n" ); document.write( "where h is a constant \n" ); document.write( "putting the value (x-2,5), 5=-4(x-2)+h \n" ); document.write( " h=4x -3 \n" ); document.write( "the equation is y=-4x +4x -3 \n" ); document.write( " y=-3 \n" ); document.write( "this is the required slope intercept form \n" ); document.write( " |
