Question

Please help me determine the equation of the line in slope intercept form and show all work. A line parallel to the line y = -5x + 10

that passes through the points (6,7)

Answer 1

y=-5x+37

Explanation:

Since the line is parallel to y=-5x+10 hence, they share the same slope of -5.

y=mx+b

7=-5(6) + b

7= -30 + b

7+30 = b

b=37

Hence the equation is y=-5x+37

Hope this helps!
