Question

How do i solve to get the parallel equation

Answer 1

A parallel equation has the same slope but a different Y intercept than the other equation. To solve for it, the best way is to use y-y1=M(x-x1) with Y1 being your y coordinate of a given point, M being the same slope, and X1 being the X coordinate of the point.

Answer 2

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. For example, the line 4x – 5y = 12 has a slope of m = 4/5. The slope of every line parallel to this line would have to be m = 4/5.

There are three steps required to find the parallel equation. I've attached a sample equation to illustrate these steps.

Step 1: Find the slope of the line.
Step 2: Use the slope to find the y-intercept.
Step 3: Use steps 1 and 2 to write the answer.
