Answer:

Explanation:
part A identification for slope:




comparing with slope intercept form: y = mx + b
we can find that here the slope is
part B, solving the equation:
if the line is parallel, then the slope will be same.
given coordinates: ( - 10, 1 )
using the equation:
y - y₁ = m( x - x₁ )



Extra information:
check the image below. this proves that the line is parallel and passes through point (-10, 1). the blue line is question line and red the answer line.
The bottom answer is correct. I had some trouble with this so I had to find x and y in separate parts.
TO FIND X
notice that the top triangle and bottom triangles are similar, meaning if you multiple all three sides of one by a specific number, it becomes the same size as the bottom triangle.
17 x n = 8, therefore n=8/17
8 x n = X, therefore X=64/17
For some reason, this does not give a correct value for Y, so I had to use trig
TO FIND Y
Notice that the angle DAB is the same as DBC (lets call this angle Ø)
Using trig rule, we know that the cos of an angle is equal to the adjacent side divided by the hypotenuses.
We can now form some equations:
cosØ = 15/17 (from the top triangle)
cosØ = 8/Y (from bottom triangle)
Now we know that Y=(8x17)/15 = 136/15
X=64/15 Y=136/15
y=−3x+9 slope of this equation is -3 and y-intercept is 9
Plot the y -intercept first which is 9 and mark the points using the slope which is -3. Join the points. So blue line in the graph is y = -3x+9
y=−x−5 slope of this equation is -1 and y intercept is -5
Plot the y -intercept first which is -5 and mark the points using the slope which is -1 . Join the points. So pink line in the graph is y = -x-5
The intersection point of these two lines gives you the solution.
The coordinates of point of intersection (7,-12)
(5*180)/7=900/7=128.5714285714286
The angle is approximately 129 degrees.
