-------------------------------------------------------------------- Find Slope -------------------------------------------------------------------- Equation: y = 5x - 2 Slope = 5 Slope of parallel line = 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Insert slope into the general equation y = mx + c -------------------------------------------------------------------- y = 5x + c
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Find y-intercept -------------------------------------------------------------------- At point (2, -1) y = 5x + c -1 = 5(2) + c c = -1 - 10 c = -11
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Insert y-intercept into the equation -------------------------------------------------------------------- y = 5x + c y = 5x - 11
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: y = 5x - 11 --------------------------------------------------------------------
Question 2:
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Find Slope -------------------------------------------------------------------- y = 9x Slope = 9 Slope of the parallel line = 9
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Insert slope into the equation y = mx + c -------------------------------------------------------------------- y = 9x + c
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Find y-intercept -------------------------------------------------------------------- y = 9x + c At point (0, 5) 5 = 9(0) + c c = 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Insert y-intercept into the equation -------------------------------------------------------------------- y = 9x + c y = 9x + 5
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Answer: y = 9x + 5 --------------------------------------------------------------------
