Question 1023180
.
Please help!!   Write an equation of the line that is parallel to the given line y = x + 3 and {{{highlight(passing_through)}}} the given point (5,0).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<U>Answer</U>. y = x - 5.


<U>Solution</U>.


<pre>
This line has the form y = x + c, 
and you need to choose the constant c in a way y=0 at x=5:

0 = 5 + c.

It gives c = -5.

Therefore y = x -5.
