\"The line contains the point (-6, -2) and is parallel with a slope of -5/4\" - parallel to what?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "parallel lines have the same slope
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "slope = -5/4
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = -5x/4 +b, where b is the y-axis intercept
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "I assume the parallel line includes the point (-6, -2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "substitute x = -6 and y = -2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-2 = -5(-6)/4 + b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "-4/2 = 15/2 +b
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b = -19/2
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "y = -5x/4 -19/2
\n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
