1.Find an equation of the line that passes through the origin and has a slope of \"-+5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "an equation of the line is \"y=mx%2Bb\", where \"m\" is a slope and \"b\" is y-intercept\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "you are given: \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the line that passes through the origin, which means the line that passes through the point (\"0\",\"0\")\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the line that passes through the origin, which means \"m=-5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "go to \"y=mx%2Bb\", substitute what is given\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"0=-5%2A0%2Bb\"...solve for \"b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"b=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, your line is: \"y=+-5x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2. Write an equation in standard form of the line satisfying the following condition.
\n" ); document.write( "The line goes through ​(3​,2​), and is horizontal.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if given that the line is horizontal, we know that horizontal line has a slope equal ti \"zero\"; it must be \"y=b\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "in this case \"b\" is y coordinate of given point; \"b=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, your equation is: \"y=2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3. Write an equation of the line containing ​(2​,-1​) and parallel to the graph of \"7x-5y=4\".\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "given:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " ​(2​,-1​)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"7x-5y=4\"=>\"7x-4=5y\"=>\"y=%287%2F5%29x-4%2F5\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "

Solved by pluggable solver: Finding the Equation of a Line Parallel or Perpendicular to a Given Line

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Since any two parallel lines have the same slope we know the slope of the unknown line is \"7%2F5\" (its from the slope of \"y=%287%2F5%29%2Ax%2B4%2F5\" which is also \"7%2F5\").\n" ); document.write( "Also since the unknown line goes through (2,-1), we can find the equation by plugging in this info into the point-slope formula
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Point-Slope Formula:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y-y%5B1%5D=m%28x-x%5B1%5D%29\" where m is the slope and (\"x%5B1%5D\",\"y%5B1%5D\") is the given point
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%2B1=%287%2F5%29%2A%28x-2%29\" Plug in \"m=7%2F5\", \"x%5B1%5D=2\", and \"y%5B1%5D=-1\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%2B1=%287%2F5%29%2Ax-%287%2F5%29%282%29\" Distribute \"7%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y%2B1=%287%2F5%29%2Ax-14%2F5\" Multiply
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%287%2F5%29%2Ax-14%2F5-1\"Subtract \"-1\" from both sides to isolate y
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%287%2F5%29%2Ax-14%2F5-5%2F5\" Make into equivalent fractions with equal denominators
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%287%2F5%29%2Ax-19%2F5\" Combine the fractions

\n" ); document.write( " \"y=%287%2F5%29%2Ax-19%2F5\" Reduce any fractions
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So the equation of the line that is parallel to \"y=%287%2F5%29%2Ax%2B4%2F5\" and goes through (\"2\",\"-1\") is \"y=%287%2F5%29%2Ax-19%2F5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " So here are the graphs of the equations \"y=%287%2F5%29%2Ax%2B4%2F5\" and \"y=%287%2F5%29%2Ax-19%2F5\"
