Question 1045549
Write an equation in Slope-intercept form for the line that is parallel to the line y = -5/2 x + 6 and that passes through the given point (-4,-6).
Can anyone help me? I'm not good with fractions..
<pre>Parallel lines have the same slope
Slope of line: {{{y = (-5/2)x + 6}}}: {{{-5/2}}}
m, or slope of equation requested: {{{- 5/2}}}; Point: (- 4, - 6)
Using point-slope form: {{{y - y[1] = m(x - x[1])}}}, we get: 
{{{matrix(1,2, y - - 6 = - "5"/2, (x - - 4))}}}
{{{matrix(1,2, y + 6 = - "5"/2, (x + 4))}}}
{{{matrix(1,2, y + 6 = - "5"/2, x - 10)}}}
{{{highlight_green(matrix(1,2, y = - "5"/2, x - 16))}}}
