Write an equation of the line that contains the given point and is parallel to the given line. Write your final answer in slope-intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( "5x + y = 8; (-4, 2)
\n" ); document.write( "y = -5x + 8
\n" ); document.write( "-----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The given line has slope = -5
\n" ); document.write( "Ans Form:: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\"::
\n" ); document.write( "2 = -5*-4 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = -18
\n" ); document.write( "Ans:: y = -5x - 18
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Write an equation of the line that contains the given point and is parallel to the given line. Write your final answer in slope-intercept form.
\n" ); document.write( " (-9, 8); m = - 5
\n" ); document.write( "Form:: y = mx + b
\n" ); document.write( "Solve for \"b\"::
\n" ); document.write( "8 = -5*9 + b
\n" ); document.write( "b = 53
\n" ); document.write( "Ans: y = -5x + 53
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
