Question

Write an equation of the line containing the specified point and parallel to the indicated line.

(−7, 0), 5x + 2y = 6

Answer 1

Slope: 2 point (-7,0)

Plug these in to y=mx + b to find b.

0 = 2*-7 + b

b = 14

Therefore, y=2x +14

Answer 2

OMGoodness! Thanks sooo much. You're the best!!

Answer 3

Does the method make sense to you though?

Answer 4

In any line function, you have two important parts: A slope and a y-intercept. b is the y-intercept because when x is zero, then your y-value is going to be "b."

Answer 5

I had the answer correct. Then i thought I was wrong so i kinda made myself confused! But you just confirmed my answer. Thanks

Answer 6
