You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation of the line parallel to the graph of 5x+7y=35 that has an x− intercept of 1.
----------
Solve for "y":
y = (-5/7)x + 5
----------
slope = (-5/7) and passes thru (1,0)
-----------
Form: y = mx + b
Solve for "b":
0 = (-5/7)*1 + b
b = 5/7
--------
Equation:
y = (-5/7)x + (5/7)
