Question

Given: (↔AB) ║ (↔CD)

If the coordinates of point A are (8 , 0) and the coordinates of point B are (3 , 7), the y-intercept of (↔AB) is (?) . If the coordinates of point D are (5 , 5), the equation of line (↔CD) is y =(?) x +(?).

can someone please help me figure out what the (?) is.

Answer 1

1. 56/5

2. -7/5

3. 12

Explanation:

Answer 2

1) m = y2 - y1/x2 - x1
y = mx + b
m = 7 - 0/3 - 8
y = -7/5x + 11.2
2) y= -7/5x + 12
(the slope or m stays the same because the two equations are parallel)
