Question

5.

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and that passes through the given point.
y= 5/2x - 10; (-6, -29)

Answer 1

C. y = (5/2)x -14

Explanation:

For a given point (h, k) and slope m, the point-slope form of the equation of a line can be written as

... y = m(x -h) +k

You want an equation for a line with slope 5/2 through point (-6, -29). That equation can be written as ...

... y = (5/2)(x +6) -29

_____

Sometimes, folks insist on slope-intercept form, which is

... y = (5/2)x -14

or standard form, which is

... 5x -2y = 28

Y = 5x + 4
