Answer:
The slope of the parallel line to the given line is
The equation of the parallel line to the given line and passes through the given point is y + 4 = (x + 2)
The y-intercept of the parallel line to the given line and passes through the given point is
Step-by-step explanation:
- The rule of the slope of the line that passes through points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is m =
- The point-slope form of the linear equation is y - y1 = m(x - x1), where m is the slope and (x1, y1) is a point on the line
- The slope-intercept form of the linear equation is y = m x + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept
- Parallel lines have the same slopes and different y-intercepts
In the given figure
∵ The given line passes through points (2, 6) and (-6, 8)
∴ x1 = 2 and y1 = 6
∴ x2 = -6 and y2 = 8
→ Substitute them in the rule of the slope above to find it
∵ m = =
=
∴ The slope of the given line is
∵ Parallel lines have the same slopes
∴ The slope of the parallel line to the given line is
∵ The parallel line passes through the point (-2, -4)
∴ x1 = -2 and y1 = -4
∵ m =
→ Substitute them in the point-slope form above
∵ y - (-4) = (x - (-2))
∴ y + 4 = (x + 2)
∴ The equation of the parallel line to the given line and passes through
the given point is y + 4 = (x + 2)
∵ m =
→ Substitute it in the slope-intercept form above
∴ y = x + b
→ To find b substitute x by -2 and y by -4 (coordinates the given point)
∵ -4 = (-2) + b
∴ -4 = + b
→ Subtract from both sides
∴ = b
∵ b is the y-intercept
∴ The y-intercept of the parallel line to the given line and passes
through the given point is
To subtract fractions, you need to obtain a common denominator. We can achieve this, in this case, by multiplying:
Simplify this:
Now we have common denominators, so we can easily just subtract the numerators, and we have the answer:
Notice that this is divisible by 2:
That's your answer!
