Question 434836:  1. find a equation of the line containing the given pair of points. (-5, -2) and (-3,-1). The equation of the line in slope-intercept form is y=  
 
2. Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points.(1/4,-1/2) and (3/4,1). y=        . Simply. type answer in y=mx+b using integers or fractions.
 
 
3. Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y=mx+b. (8,9); x+4y=9. The equation of the line is y=      .
 
 
4. Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y=mx+b. (-7,7); 8x=7y+9.
 
 
5. (3,4); 5x+y=7 
 
These are the last ones I need and I just cannot come out with the correct answers. Please someone HELP! THank you.

You can  put this solution on YOUR website! 1. find a equation of the line containing the given pair of points. (-5, -2) and (-3,-1). 
These are all similar.  For this one, find the slope.  What did you get for it?

2. Find an equation of the line containing the given pair of points.(1/4,-1/2) and (3/4,1). 
Same as #1

3. Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form y=mx+b. (8,9); x+4y=9. 
Find the slope of the given line first.
 
The equation of the line is y=      .   You're wasting time typing that.  What purpose does that serve?
