Question 1087385: Please help:
Given the equation 3x -5y=15
1) Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form?
2) write an equation in point-slope form on the line through the point (-4, 1) parallel to the line with the equation given above
3)Concert the equation found in part (C) to the slope intercept form
4) Convert the equation found in part (c) to stand form, Ax +By+C are intergers
5) Graph both lines on once coordinatie system.
