Question 25329: Write an equation of a line that contains the given point and is parallel to the given line. (-5,-8); y= -3/5x + 2 Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The form of a line is y=mx+b
m=-3/5, x=-5, y=-8
Put those values into the form and solve for "b".
-8=-3/5(-5)+b
-8=3+b
b=-11
The equation you need is y=(-3/5)x+11
