Question

What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (0,-1)

Answer 1

Answer: in your case, point slope form will be y+1 = (the parellel slope or M)(x-0)

Step-by-step explanation:

basically the point slope form is suppose to be y - (y coodinate) = (M or slope)(x - (x coodinate) )

Parellel lines are the slope is the same, but the coordinates aren't

eg.    what is the equation, in point slope form, of the coordinate of a line (3,4) that is parellel to the equation: y = 3/4x + 6

no. 1: slope is 3/4

no. 2 plug all info into the equation: y - (y coodinate) = (M or slope)(x - (x coodinate) )

no.3 you have your equation! y - 4 = 3 / 4 ( x - 3 )
