Question 454933: 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
(5,8); x+2y=3
I am not getting this for some reason can any one help? thank you so much. Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
(5,8); x+2y=3
---------------
The slope of lines parallel is the same, only the y-intercept is different.
Sub 5&8 for x & y:
5 + 2*8 = 21
x + 2y = 21 is the equation.
---------------------
y = (-1/2)x + 21/2 in slope-intercept form
