Question

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Express your answer using either the general form or the​ slope-intercept form of the equation of a line. Parallel to the line ​; containing the point​ (0,0)

Answer 1

y = 7x

Explanation:

Complete question:

Find an equation for the line with the given properties. Parallel to the line 7x - y = -7; containing the point (0,0)

The equation of a line in point-slope form is expressed as;

y - y0 = m(x-x0)

(x0, y0) = (0,0)

Given the equation of the line as 7x - y = -7;

Rewrite and get the slope

-y = -7x - 7

y = 7x+7

Get the slope

mx = 7x

m = 7

Substitute into the equation

y - 0 = 7(x - 0)

y = 7x

Hence the required equation is y = 7x
