Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation parallel to y = 7x + 2, which passes through the point (1, -3).

Answer 1

OK, step one, what's the slope of the line we're trying to be parallel to?

Answer 2

That's all the question gives me, if that's what you're asking..

Answer 3

No, I'm saying, can you inspect the equation y=7x+2 and tell me the slope of that line?

Answer 4

The answer, I'm totally lost. lol

Answer 5

ok
the slope intercept formula is y=mx+b
where m is the slope and b is (0,b0 the y-intercept

Answer 6

sorry where b is (0,b) the y-intercept

Answer 7

y = 7x - 10

Answer 8

if they give u an equation and they ask you find a parallel line to it ... you will use the slope the same slope the gave you
that means m1=m2

Answer 9

and will use the points to find b in the equation... lets see...
y=7x+b
if we use the points to find b we will get
(-3)=7(1)+b
-3=7+b
-7 -7

-10=b

Answer 10

so your equation for a parallel line wil be
y=7x-10
