Question 391066: in my book it says : Write the slope-intercept form of an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the graph of each equation. my question is how to do this problem (2,-7), y = x - 2 Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
First determine the slope of the given line. That will tell you the slope of the desired line because:
Then use the point-slope form of an equation of a line:
where are the coordinates of the given point and is the calculated slope.
Finally, do the appropriate arithmetic and algebraic manipulations to solve the equation for in terms of everything else, which is to say, put the equation in form.
