Question

A line passes through the points (-2,-4) and (3,5) which equation best represents a line parallel to this line?

Answer 1

Answer:

okay think of it like this

1) -5y=-x-10  /:(-5)

y = 1/5 x + 2              m=-5 ( perpendicular lines )

5=(-5)* 2 + b

5 = -10 + b               b = 15

y = -5 x+15

2) -5 y = -10x+8

y = 2 x - 8/5            m = 2

4= 2 * 2 + b

4 = 4 + b                   b=0

y = 2 x

3 ) y = -4 x-1            m = -4

0 = 5*(-4)+b

0 = -20 + b              b = 20

y=-4 x+20

4) 2 y = -4 x + 5

y = -2 x + 5/2           m = -2

5 = (-2) * (-3) + b

5 = 6 + b                  b = -1

y = -2 x - 1

5) -3 y = - x + 9

y = 1/3 x - 3              m = -3

5 = -3*3+b

5 = -9 + b                 b = 14

y = -3 x + 14

hope it helpss!!!!!!
