Question 667495
Parallel lines have the same slope.
...
Using
4.8x + 10y = 5
10y = -4.8x + 5
y = -.48x + .5
...
The slope is -.48
...
Using the slope and the cooridinates (-4,4), solve for y-intercept, b.
4 = -.48(-4) + b
4 = 1.92 + b
b = 4-1.92 = 2.08
...
{{{highlight(y=-.48x + 2.08)}}}, which is parallel to
{{{highlight_green(y=-.48x + .5)}}}
...
{{{graph(300,200,-10,10,-10,10,-.48x+2.08,-.48x+.5)}}}
