Answer:
y=-1/2x+3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(-1-1)/(5-1)
m=-2/4
m=-1/2
y-y1=m(x-x1)
y-1=-1/2(x-1)
y=-1/2x+1/2+1
y=-1/2x+1/2+2/2
y=-1/2x+3/2
-5x + y = -5.....multiply by -2
-4x + 2y = 2
---------------
10x - 2y = 10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-4x + 2y = 2
-----------------add
6x = 12
x = 12/6
x = 2
-5x + y = -5
-5(2) + y = -5
-10 + y = -5
y = -5 + 10
y = 5
solution is (2,5)
Answer:
y = 2x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
y = 2x + 3 ← is in slope- intercept form
with slope m = 2
Parallel lines have equal slopes , then
y = 2x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute (5, 3 ) into the partial equation
3 = 10 + c ⇒ c = 3 - 10 = - 7
y = 2x - 7 ← equation of parallel line
