Question 268969: Right the slope – intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of the equation (5,-1),y=-3/4X+1
Answer by rogerg0834(1)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since the lines are parallel then that means that their slopes are equal, -3/4. The slope-intercept equation is y = mx + b and we know the slope already and we are given a point on the line (5, -1). So, simply plug in the numbers and find b.
-1 = -3/4 (5) + b
-1 = -15/4 + b
-1 / -15/4 = -15/4 / -15/4 + b
-1 / -15/4 = b
-1 * -4/15 = b
4/15 = b
so the slope - intercept of an equation with a slope of -3/4 and passes thru point (5, -1) is y = -3/4x + 4/15
