Question

Parallel to y=-1/5X-7 and through (2,3)

Answer 1

y = -1/5x + 17/5

Explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slope as m2 = m1. Thus, the slope the of second line is -1/5.

We can find the y-intercept by plugging in (2,3) for x and y and our slope:

`3 = -(1)/(5)(2)+b\\ 3=-(2)/(5)+b\\ (17)/(5)=b`
