keeping in mind that in a parallelogram the diagonals bisect each other, namely cut each other into two equal halves.  Check the picture below.

\stackrel{GH}{3x-4}~~ = ~~\stackrel{HE}{5y+1}\implies 3x=5y+5\implies x=\cfrac{5y+5}{3} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{DH}{x+1}~~ = ~~\stackrel{HF}{3y}\implies \stackrel{\textit{substituting "x" in the equation}}{\cfrac{5y+5}{3}+1~~ = ~~3y}

\stackrel{\textit{multiplying both sides by }\stackrel{LCD}{3}}{3\left( \cfrac{5y+5}{3}+1 \right)=3(3y)}\implies 5y+5+3=9y\implies 5+3=4y\implies 8=4y \\\\\\ \cfrac{8}{4}=y\implies \boxed{2=y}~\hfill x=\cfrac{5y+5}{3}\implies x=\cfrac{5(2)+5}{3}\implies \boxed{x=5}

Which is an equation in point-slope form for the given point and slope?
xxMikexx [17]

Hi There!

Solution,

Point Slope Form: y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Now you have a reference equation of what the answer should look like.

By looking at the answer choices you can eliminate A.

Tip: When you have a negative number you are going to add. For Example, if you have -8, you will input x + 8 or y + 8.

Tip 2: When you have a positive number you are going to subtract. For Example, if you have 3 you will input x - 3 or y - 3.

We can eliminate B because its not subtracting 3.

We can also eliminate C because its not adding -8.

The best answer choice is D.

Answer,

y – 3 = 6(x + 8)

I hope you understand, so you can do this in the future on your own.

Hope This Helps :)
