Question

Im not sure if anyone knows how to do this but if u do could u pleaseee help me with this!!!

Answer 1

y = -2x - 5

Explanation:

1) Find the slope of the line.

The slope of the original line is the same as the slope of the parallel line.

Slope formula:

`m = (y_(2) - y_(1))/(x_(2) - x_(1))`

In this case you can choose any 2 set of points on the table.

`m = (4 - 2)/(-3 - (-2))` =
`(4 - 2)/(-3 + 2)` =
`(2)/(-1)` = -2

So the slope of the line is -2

2) Use the point-slope formula to find the equation of the line.

Point-slope formula:

`y - y_(1) = m(x - x_(1))`

Now plug in the point (0, -5) and the slope -2 into the equation.

y - (-5) = -2(x - 0)

y + 5 = -2(x - 0)

To solve the equation first apply the distributive property.

y + 5 = -2x + 0

y + 5 = -2x

Next, subtract 5 from sides.

y = -2x - 5

You know have your equation in point-slope form!
