Write the equation through (2,5) parallel to the line through (8,0) and (0,8)

Mathematics

Answer:

y = -x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

As we move from (8, 0) to (0, 8), we see x decreasing by 8 ('rise') and y increasing by 8 ('run').  Thus, the slope of this line is m = rise/run = 8/(-8) = -1.

Starting from y = mx + b and substituting 8 for x, 0 for y and -1 for m, we get:

0 = -1(8) + b, or b = 8

Then the equation of the line through the two given points is y = -x + 8.  Any line parallel to this one has the same slope:  m = -1.

Repeat the above work to find the y-intercept of the line parallel to y = -x + 8  that goes through (2, 5):

5 = -2 + b, or b = 7

Then the desired line (final answer) is y = -x + 7

Could someone explain this to me
Bond [772]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking you to graph the equations.

The equations are in slope intercept form so y=mx+b

M is the slope and b is the y-intercept

First draw the y & x axis and label/number them

The y-intercept for the first equation is -1 so draw a dot on the -1 on the y-axis

The slope is 2/5 and you use rise/run to continue the slope.

you rise 2 on the y-axis and go right 5 times on the x-axis (for a negative number you go left/down)

For the second equation, you have to turn it into slope intercept form.

You should get y=2/3x+3

You graph this equation the same as you did the first one.
