Question

A line contains the points (8,9) and (-12, -7). Using point-slope form, write the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line

and that passes through (-5, -15).
A
4
B
3-15= ( 9
» +15= 3(+9
3+5= 3(+15)
»+15= 3(x+5)
C
D

Answer 1

(y+15) = 4/5(x+5)

Explanation:

slope = (-7 - 9)/(-12 - 8) = -16/-20 = 4/5

(y+15) = 4/5(x+5)
