Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line y=1/3x=5 and passes through (-9, 5). Do not use any spaces. Slope should be a reduced improper fraction.

Question

Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line y=1/3x=5 and passes through (-9, 5).  Do not use any spaces.  Slope should be a reduced improper fraction.

anonymous · Answer

y-y1=m(x-x1)

m=slope 
(x1,y1)= point

We know that parallel lines have the same slope so just find the slope of
y=1/3x=5

And you are already given a point : (-9, 5)

Plug them in and you ae done
