Question

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to y = -7x + 2 and contains the point (-5,32)​

Answer 1

Answer:

Y=-7x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

y = - 7x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

y = - 7x + 2 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = - 7

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = - 7x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 5, 32) into the partial equation

32 = 35 + c ⇒ c = 32 - 35 = - 3

y = - 7x - 3 ← equation of parallel line
