Question 609571: write an equation of the line containing the given point
and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the
form y= mx + b.
(2,7) 5x + y=3
The equation of the line is y= Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
Determine the slope of the line represented by the given equation. The given equation is in standard form, so divide the opposite of the coefficient on by the coefficient on .
Parallel lines have identical slopes, so the slope of the desired line is the same as the slope you just calculated.
Use the point-slope form of the equation of a line
where are the coordinates of the given point and is the calculated slope.
Insert the known values and then solve the equation for in terms of everything else to get the equation into slope-intercept form, namely
