Find an equation of a line that is parallel to the line of 5x-4y=20.
\n" ); document.write( "I had to find the x and y intercepts. I have x=5 and y=4. My answer needs to be in y=mx+b form.
\n" ); document.write( "ANY LINE PARALLEL TO THE ABOVE LINE IS
\n" ); document.write( "5X-4Y=K..............WHERE K IS A CONSTANT.
\n" ); document.write( "TO FIRM UP THE EQN. WE NEED ANOTHER DATA.
\n" ); document.write( "TILL THEN WE CAN ONLY GIVE IN TERMS OF K
\n" ); document.write( "X INTERCEPT IS WHEN Y=0,SO 5X=K......X=K/5 IS THE X INTERCEPT.
\n" ); document.write( "Y INTERCEPT IS WHEN X=0,SO -4Y=K.....Y=-K/4 IS THE Y INTERCEPT
\n" ); document.write( "IF YOU MEANT THAT IT PASSES THROUGH X=5 AND Y=4,THEN WE CAN FIND K
\n" ); document.write( "5*5-4*4=K
\n" ); document.write( "K=25-16=9
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE EQN. IS
\n" ); document.write( "5X-4Y=9
\n" ); document.write( "THEN X INTERCEPT = K/5=9/5
\n" ); document.write( "THEN Y INTERCEPT = -K/4=-9/4 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
