Question 992779: write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line described.
through: (-5,1), parallel to y=-3/5x+2 Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Hi there,
y=-3/5x+2
Gradient = -3/5
Lines that are parallel to one
another have gradients that equal
one another.
m1 = m2
Using line equation:
y - b = m(x - a)
Gradient (m) = -3/5
(a,b) = (-5,1)
y - 1 = -3/5(x - (-5))
y - 1 = -3/5(x + 5)
y - 1 = -3/5x - 15/5
y = -3/5x - 15/5 + 5/5 (1)
y = -3/5x - 10/5
y = -3/5x - 2
Hope this helps :-)
