Algebra.Com's Answer #57298 by checkley75(3666)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Y=5X-2 THIS LINE HAS A SLOPE OF 5 SO THE LINE WE WANT WHICH IOS PARALLEL TO THIS LINE ALSO HAS A SLOPE OF 5 NOW SUBSTITUTE (5,0) FOR X & Y & SOLVE FOR THE Y INTERCEPT(b) \n" ); document.write( "0=5*5+b \n" ); document.write( "0=25+b \n" ); document.write( "b=-25 SO WE HAVE THE EQUATION \n" ); document.write( "Y=5X+25 \n" ); document.write( " |
