Question 564618: Use the given conditions to write an equation for each line in point-slope form and slope-intercept form.
Passing through (-2,-7) and parallel to the line whose equation is y=-5x+4 Answer by ad_alta(240) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Slope-intercept: The slope must be -5, since it is parallel to y=-5x+4. Plugging in the point we can find the intercept; -7=-5(-2)+b, so b=-17 and y=-5x-17.
Point-slope: y+7=-5(x+2) [you can use one of these forms to check the other]
