Question

Graph the line that passes through the point (0,3) and is parallel to another line whose slope is 1.2.

please do it quick i need it asap

Answer 1

Hello,

Two parallel lines have the same slope, which means that our line's slope, will also be 1.2.

So now we have a point and a slope, so we can use the following formula to find the equation of the line:

y-y1 = m (x-x1)

Where:

y1 - y coordinate of a point on the line

x1 - x coordinate of the same point on the line

m - slope

Plugging in we get:

y+3 = 1.2 (x-0)

y = 1.2x - 3 (slope intercept form)

or

5y-6x = -15 (standard form)

Cheers
