First of all, let's find the slope of line L. To find the slope of a line, you write it in the explitic form y = mx+q, and consider the coefficient m. So, we have

2x - 3y = 5 \iff 3y = 2x-5 \iff y = \dfrac{2}{3} x - \dfrac{5}{3}

So, the slope of line L is 2/3.

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. So, line M has slope 2/3 as well, and we know that it passes through the point (3, -10).

When you are given the slope m and a point (x_0,y_0) of a line, its equation is given by

y-y_0=m(x-x_0)

So, if you plug your values, you have

y+10 = \dfrac{2}{3}(x-3)

which you can simplify into

y+10 = \dfrac{2}{3}x-2

y = \dfrac{2}{3}x-12

Can you help me with a question? What is the equation of the blue line?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

y = -x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

y = mx + b

<u>slope (m):</u> Since the line is going downhill, the slope will be negative

slope = rise / run

slope = 1 / 1

slope = 1

m = -1

<u>y - intercept (b):</u> this when x = 0, the line is crossing the vertical line (y-axis)

b = -1

so y = mx + b is

b = -1, m = -1

y = (-1)x + (-1)
