Question

A line contains the points (-4, -5), parallel to the line 5x-y=12

Answer 1

Point slope form yo. (y)

Answer 2

Okay, so can you convert this equation to slope-intercept form?

Answer 3

yup

Answer 4

y=5x-12

Answer 5

now if a line is parllel to other their slopes are same or different????? @Anikate

Answer 6

same

Answer 7

@Anikate What is the slope of a line parallel to another.

Answer 8

Yes, and here it's 5 right? So the slope in your parallel line is also 5.

Answer 9

in this equation: m=5

Answer 10

Yup.
We have a point and a slope, so we'd just use the point slope form!

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

Do you know what the point-slope form is?

Answer 13

y=mx+b

Answer 14

so a line parllel to other just have change in the value of c in y=mx+c

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

@Anikate Okay, so I'd tell you what the point-slope form of an equation is.\[\rm y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\] if the point you are given is (x1,y1) and the slope is m.

Answer 17

just make such equation with random C:)

Answer 18

@Aperogalics No! We are also given the points!

Answer 19

We can't just choose a random \(\rm c\).

Answer 20

@ParthKohli let him make it step by step:)

Answer 21

here random C doesnt mean any value..k

Answer 22

k i got the rest of the question thx for the help

Answer 23

I know, @Aperogalics, C is the y-intercept.
@Anikate yw!

Answer 24

And you can't have a random y-intercept...

Answer 25

can u plz hepl me on my next question i will post it

Answer 26

can u prove it @ParthKohli

Answer 27

@Aperogalics A random line does NOT pass through (-4,-5).

Answer 28

guys i got it . can u plz help me with my next qestion

Answer 29

Sure @Anikate!

Answer 30

my frind i say c isn't mean a particular constant value i m trying to say him to write family of parllel line( general form)..:)
