Question

The equationoflinevis y + 10 = 2 3 ( x – 8 ) . line w , which is parallel to line v , includes the point (6, -5) . what is the equation of line w ?

Answer 1

You know that if 2 lines are parallel, they have the same slope. 

First, find the slope of the given line; 

y+10 = 23(x-8)
y=23x-184-10 
y=23x-194

Slope is 23 

Write out the basic format; 

y=mx+c 
y=23x+c <--- replace x and y values here 
-5=23(6)+c 
-5-138=c 
-143=c 

Therefore, this equation would be y=23x-143

Hope I helped :)
