What would the answer be if i need to write an equation for the line in slope
intercept-form when it passes through (5,-2) and is parallel to y=-9x+6?
;
remember that parallel lines have the same slope, here it is -9.
:
Use point/slope formula; y - y1 = m(x - x1)
our equation:
y - (-2) = -9(x - 5)
y + 2 = -9x + 45
y = -9x + 45 - 2
y = -9x + 43, is the equation in the slope/intercept form
