Write in point-slope form the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.Your fi
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

y = x

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is

y = x + 5

The slope of this line

m = 1

Since all parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of our line is also m=1.

We now use the point-slope formula

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Since the line passes through (-1,-1)

We gave

x_1=-1,y_1=-1

We substitute the slope and point to get

y -  - 1 = 1(x -  - 1)

y + 1 = x + 1

y = x

Translate<br> Solve the equation.<br> 3m= 5(m + 3)-3<br> HELP
kvasek [131]

Answer:

m = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

3m= 5(m + 3)-3

Distribute

3m = 5m +15 -3

Combine like terms

3m = 5m +12

Subtract 5m

3m-5m = 5m+12-5m

-2m = 12

Divide by -2

-2m/-2 = 12/-2

m = -6
