Question 72470: (1)Write the equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions. Expressthe final equation in standard form. Contains the point (-3, 7) and is parallel to the y-axis.
(2)Write the equation of the line that satisfies the given conditions. Expressthe final equation in standard form. Contains the origin and is parallel to the line 2x-9y=-1 Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) any line parallel to the y axis will be in the form of x=... (notice there's no y value). Since the point contains x=-3, the line's equation is x=-3.
b)First solve for y Subtract 2x from both sides divide both sides by -9 So the slope is 2/9 and the y-intercept is 1/9. Parallel lines have the same slope, so the slope of our unknown equation is m=1/9. Since the line is going through the origin (0,0) our y-intercept will be zero (b=0). So our equation is or
