y-10x=6
y=10x%2B6

Parallel to , and through (-7,1):
y-1=10%28x%2B7%29
y=10%28x%2B7%29%2B1
y=10x%2B70%2B1
highlight%28y=10x%2B71%29

Find an equation for the line parallel to 4y-40x=24 and goes through the point (-7,1). Write your answer in the form y=mx+b.😊😊
Equation: 4y - 40x = 24_____40x - 4y = - 24_____4(10x - y) = 4(- 6)____10x - y = - 6

Equation parallel to the above, and passing through point (- 7, 1):

4y-40x=24

(1) Simplify the given equation by dividing by 4
y-10x=6

(2) Any line parallel to that line has an equation of the form y-10x=C for some constant C. To find the equation of the line parallel to the given line passing through (-7,1), substitute those coordinates in the equation to find C:

1-10%28-7%29=C
C=71
y-10x=71

(3) Put the equation in the required form:

ANSWER: y=10x%2B71
