Question

The equation for line g can be written as y = 2/9x + 10.

Line h, which is parrellel to line g, includes the point (-3, -1) what is the equation

Answer 1

y=2/9x-1/3

Explanation:

since line h is parallel to line g, this means that line h has the same slope as line g.

line h's slope would be 2/9.

to find the y-intercept, plug (-3, -1) into the equation y=2/9x+b. -3 will represent x and -1 will represent y:

y=2/9x+b

-1=2/9(-3)+b

Then, solve for b:

-1=2/9(-3)+b

-1=-6/9+b

b=-1/3

so, the equation for line g is: y=2/9x-1/3
