The linear equation for the second street, in standard form, is:
x + y = 6.
<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>
A linear function is modeled by:
y = mx + b
In which:
- m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
- b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.
The second street is parallel to the first, that is, they have the same slope, hence:
m = (1 - 3)/(0 - (-2)) = -1.
Then:
y = -x + b.
It passes through (1,5), that is, when x = 1, y = 5, which is used to find b.
y = -x + b.
5 = -1 + b
b = 6.
The equation is:
y = -x + 6.
In standard form:
x + y = 6.
