Question

7. Find the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line below that goes through the point (6, 4). y = fx-5

​

Answer 1

y=3/2x-5

when finding the equation of a line, we use this formula

y=mx+b

where Y= a point on the y-axis

M= ∆y/∆x

x= a point on the x-axis

and b = intercept

Explanation:

so to in this case, we are given y= 4, x=6 and y-int = -5

substitute the value in the given equation,

therefore, 4=6m-5

4+5=6m

9/6=M

3/2=m

Answer y=3/2x-5 that is the equation of the line
