Question 25267: Write the equation of a line parallel to y=-3/4x-2, which has a y-intercept of 5. Found 2 solutions by Earlsdon, venugopalramana:Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Recall that parallel lines have equal slopes. The slope of the given line is: so this will be the slope of your new line.
You have also been given the y-intercept of the new line, so b = 5
Now you can write the equation of the new line in the form:
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Write the equation of a line parallel to y=-3/4x-2, which has a y-intercept of 5.
EQN.OF LINE PARALLEL WILL BE OF THE FORM
Y=-3/4 *X+K.....WHERE K IS TO BE FOUND.FOR THIS WE ARE GIVEN THAY Y INTERCEPT IS 5 .THAT IS WHEN X=0,Y=5.HENCE
5=-3/4 *0+K....OR...K=5...HENCE THE EQ2N.IS
Y=(-3/4)X+5
