Question 428412: equation for the line that passes through the point (-1, 2) and is parallel to the line with equation 2y+6x=10
Answer by mananth(16946)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 6x+2y=10
Find the slope of this line 2
y=-6x+10
Divide by 2
y =-3x+ 5
Compare this equation with y=mx+b
slope m =-3
The slope of a line parallel to the above line will be the same
The slope of the required line will be -3
m=-3,point(-1,2 )
Find b by plugging the values of m & the point in
y=mx+b
2=3.00+ b
b=-1
m=-3
Plug value of the slope and b
The required equation is y=-3x-1 point (-1, 2) and is parallel to the line with equation 2y+6x=10
