Question

HELP ME WITH MY GEOMETRY PLZ!?!?!
HAVE TO FINNISH DIS BEFORE MIDNIGHT!!!!

Answer 1

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Identify the slope
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

`y = (5)/(2) x + 8`


`Slope = (5)/(2)`

Parallel lines share the same slope.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert Slope into the general equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


`y = mx+ c`


`y = (5)/(2) x + c`

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the y-intercept
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


`At\ point \ (-8,0)`


`y = (5)/(2) (-8) + c`


`0 = -20 + c`


`c = 20`

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Insert the y-intercept into the equation
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


`y = (5)/(2) x + c`


`y = (5)/(2) x + 20`


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

`Answer : y = (5)/(2) x + 20`
