Find equation of a line through 5 -3 that is parallel to y=1/2x+3

Answer:

The equation of a line through (5 -3) that is parallel to y = 1/2 x+3 is

y = - 2 x  + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the slope of the line whose equation we need to find is m 1.

The line parallel to the needed line  is:   y=1/2x+3

Comparing it with the general form: y = m x + C

we get m 2 = 1/2

Now, as Line 1 is Perpendicular to Line 2.

⇒ m 1 x m 2  = -1

⇒ m 1 x ( 1/2)  = -1

⇒ m 1  = - 2

Also, the point son the line 1 is given as: (x,y)  = (5,-3)

Put the value of point and Slope in y = m x + C to find the value of Y- INTERCEPT.

we get: -3 = (-2) (5) +  C

or, C = -3 + 10 = 7

⇒ C = 7

The general line equation is given as:  y = m x + C

Substituting  the values of C and m, we get:

y = - 2 x  + 7

Hence, the equation of a line through 5 -3 that is parallel to y = 1/2 x+3 is

y = - 2 x  + 7

Answer:

y = -3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Parallel means same slope which is -3</u>

<u />

<u>Step 1:  Use point slope form</u>

(y - y1) = m(x - x1)

(y - (-4)) = -3(x - 2)

y + 4 - 4 = -3x + 6 - 4

y = -3x + 2

Answer:  y = -3x + 2

gayaneshka [121]
The dimensions for the rectangle are 15 by 2.

15 times 2 is 30, which is the area.

15+15+2+2= 34 which is the perimeter
