Question

Write the equation of a line that is parallel to x=-5 and that passes through point (1,4)
​

Answer 1

equation is then y= -5x + 9

Explanation:

First the equation of a line is y=mx+b

if parallel the slope is the same

so m= -5

y= -5x +b

plug in point (1,4) into equation to find by

4= -5(1) + b

b=9

equation is then y= -5x + 9
