Question

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to x=7/5x+6 and that passes through the point (2,-6)

Answer 1

the answer is below
we're given

`y = (7)/(5) x + 6`
we need to convert to point slope form with our slope and point given
point slope form is

`y - y1 = m(x - x1)`
so we fill in slope and our point


`y + 6 = (7)/(5) (x - 2)`
we simplify the left side and get

`y + 6 = (7)/(5) x - (14)/(5)`
then we subtract 6 from the left and get
this as our final answer

`y = (7)/(5) x - (44)/(5)`
