Algebra.Com's Answer #61427 by Lacey020991(49)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The equation of a line is y = mx+b \n" ); document.write( "If two lines are parallel, they have the same slope.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1) change the given line to y = form. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "2x + 3y = 7 \n" ); document.write( "3y = -2x + 7 \n" ); document.write( "y = \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So your slope is \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2) Next you have the y and x of the equation. You plug these into the y = form to find b, your y-intercept.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "5 = \n" ); document.write( "5 = -4 + b \n" ); document.write( "9 = b\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now you have you slope, m, and your y-int, b, your ready to write your equation\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "y = \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
