The line contains the point (-6, -2) and is parallel with a slope of -5/4 Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! "The line contains the point (-6, -2) and is parallel with a slope of -5/4" - parallel to what?
:
parallel lines have the same slope
:
slope = -5/4
:
y = -5x/4 +b, where b is the y-axis intercept
:
I assume the parallel line includes the point (-6, -2)
:
substitute x = -6 and y = -2
:
-2 = -5(-6)/4 + b
:
-4/2 = 15/2 +b
:
b = -19/2
:
y = -5x/4 -19/2
