Find the equation of the line that passes through the point (7,-2) and is parallel to the line that passes through (-2,-2) and (3,3). This question is from textbook An Incremental Development
You can put this solution on YOUR website! THE LINE PASSING THROUGH (-2,-2) & (3,3) HAS A SLOPE OF
(3+2)/(3+2)
5/5=1 IS THE SLOPE OF THIS LINE.
PARRALLEL LINES HAVE THE SAME SLOPE THEN SUBSTITUTING THE POINTS(7,-2) ALONG WITH THE SLOPE OF 1 WE SOLVE THE LINE PROBLEM THUS
-2=1*7+b & SOLVE FOR THE Y INTERCEPT
-2=7+b
b=-2-7
b=-9 THIS IS THE Y INTERCEPT & THE LINE EQUATION FOR THIS LINE IS
Y=X-9
