Answer:

The equation of line with slope
(5)/(4) and points ( - 1 , 3 ) is y =
(5)/(4) x +
(17)/(4)

Explanation:

Given equation of a line as :

y =
(5)/(4) x + 3

The line equation is in the form of y = m x + c

Where m is the slope of the line

Now while comparing given line equation with standard line equation ,

So , slope of the line m =
(5)/(4)

∵ Another line is passing through points ( - 1 , 3 ) , and is parallel to given line

Now if two lines are parallel then slope of both lines are equal

Let The slope of another line = M

So, M = m =
(5)/(4)

∴ The equation of line with slope
(5)/(4) and passing through points ( - 1 , 3 ) is

y -
y_1 = M × ( x -
x_1 )

Or, y - 3 = ×
(5)/(4) ( x + 1 )

or, 4 × ( y - 3 ) = 5 × ( x + 1 )

Or, 4 y - 12 = 5 x + 5

Or, 4 y = 5 x + 17

∴ y =
(5)/(4) x +
(17)/(4)

Hence The equation of line with slope
(5)/(4) and points ( - 1 , 3 ) is y =
(5)/(4) x +
(17)/(4) Answer
