Algebra.Com's Answer #473504 by Cromlix(4381)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Rearrange 5x - y = 3 \n" ); document.write( "into y = mx + c form. \n" ); document.write( "y = 5x - 3 \n" ); document.write( "Lines that are parallel to one \n" ); document.write( "another have the same slope (m) \n" ); document.write( "y = 5x - 3 \n" ); document.write( "has m = 5 \n" ); document.write( "Using the equation: \n" ); document.write( "y - b = m(x - a)with (3,-1) \n" ); document.write( "With a = 3, b = -1 and m = 5 \n" ); document.write( "y - (-1) = 5(x - 3) \n" ); document.write( "y + 1 = 5x - 15 \n" ); document.write( "y = 5x -15 -1 \n" ); document.write( "y = 5x - 16. \n" ); document.write( "Hope this helps. \n" ); document.write( ":-) \n" ); document.write( " |
