Question 164934This question is from textbook Geomertry
: Write an equation for the line parrallel to XY that contains Z.
XY: 6x-10y+5=0, Z(-5,3) This question is from textbook Geomertry
You can put this solution on YOUR website! We know that lines that are parallel have the same slopes. So we must first write our equation in y=mx+b format to find the slope which is m in this equation. re-writing our equation into this format we add 10y on both sides which gives us 10y=6x+5 now divide both sides by 10 and y=6/10+5/10 simplifing is y=3/5x-1/2 so our slope is 3/5. the formula for point slope is y-k = m(x-h) where (h,k) is any point on the line. Our given point is z(-5,3). so substituting our know facts we get
y-3= 3/5(x-(-5)) which equals y-3=3/5(x+5)....multiply and simplify to y=mx+b format y=3/2x +4
answer: y=3/5x+6
