Question

Write the equation of the parallel line that passes through (0,-3)

Answer 1

y = 1.2x - 3 (slope intercept form)

or

5y-6x = -15 (standard form)

Explanation:

Two parallel lines have the same slope, which means that our line's slope, will also be 1.2.

we can use the formula to find the equation of the line:

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

y1 - y coordinate of a point on the line

x1 - x coordinate of the same point on the line

m - slope

and we get:

y+3 = 1.2 (x-0)

y = 1.2x - 3 (slope intercept form)

or

5y-6x = -15 (standard form)
