Question 436782: Write an equation of the given line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. express in the form y=mx+b
Problem (-5,7);4x=5y+7
the equation of the line is y= Found 2 solutions by mananth, josmiceli:Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
-5 y = -4 x + 7 0.8
Divide by -5
y = 0.8 x + -1.4
Compare this equation with y=mx+b
slope m = 0.8
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
The slope of the required line will be 0.8
m=0.8 ,point(-5,7)
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
y=mx+b
7=-4.00+b
b=11
m=0.8
Plug value of the slope and b
The required equation isy=0.8x+11
