First, you have to change 7 1/3 to an improper fraction which is 22/3.
Then you have to flip the fraction upside down to get the reciprocal.

So the answer is 3/22

Write an equation In slope intercept form for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given poin

ludmilkaskok [199]

The equation of the parallel line in slope-intercept form is;

y = $\frac{5}{2}$ x - $\frac{25}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us revise some facts about parallel lines

The equations of two parallel lines have:

Same slopes
Different y-intercept

The slope-intercept form of the equation of a line is y = m x + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept

The given line has equation 5x - 2y = 10

Put it in the form of y = m x + b to find its slope

∵ 5x - 2y = 10

- Subtract 5x from both sides

∴ -2y = 10 - 5x

- Divide to sides by -2

∴ y = -5 + $\frac{5}{2}$ x

∴ y = $\frac{5}{2}$ x - 5

- The value of m is the coefficient of x

∴ m = $\frac{5}{2}$

∴ The slope of the given line is $\frac{5}{2}$

∵ Parallel lines have same slopes

∴ The slope of the parallel line is m = $\frac{5}{2}$

- Substitute the value of m in the form of the equation

∴ The equation of the parallel line is y = $\frac{5}{2}$ x + b

To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates of any point lies on the line

∵ The parallel line passes through point (3 , -5)

- Substitute x and y by the coordinates of the point (3 , -5)

∵ x = 3 and y = -5

∴ -5 = $\frac{5}{2}$ (3) + b

∴ -5 = $\frac{15}{2}$ + b

- Subtract $\frac{15}{2}$ from both sides

∴ b = $\frac{-25}{2}$

∴ The equation of the parallel line is y = $\frac{5}{2}$ x + $\frac{-25}{2}$

∴ The equation of the parallel line is y = $\frac{5}{2}$ x - $\frac{25}{2}$

The equation of the parallel line in slope-intercept form is;

y = $\frac{5}{2}$ x - $\frac{25}{2}$
