Algebra.Com's Answer #65202 by tutorcecilia(2152)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Lines that are parallel have the same slope: \n" ); document.write( "Line #1 = 6x-3y=10 \n" ); document.write( "y=2y-10/3 \n" ); document.write( "So. Slope #1 = (2) \n" ); document.write( ". \n" ); document.write( "Line #2 = use the slope-intercept formula: y=mx+b \n" ); document.write( "-2=(2)(-5)+b [plug-in points (-5, -2) and slope = m = 2] \n" ); document.write( "-2=-10+b [solve for the b-term] \n" ); document.write( "b=8 \n" ); document.write( "Plugging b=8 back into the slope-intercept form (y=mx+b) gives \n" ); document.write( "y=2x+8 \n" ); document.write( "Line # 2: y=2x+8\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
