Write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line y=1/3 x+5 and passes through (-9, 5).

Answer 1

@AriPotta

Answer 2

ok, what's going to be the slope of this new line?

Answer 3

+y2?x1+x2 y1

Answer 4

Answer 5

@kendoll If it is going to parallel the slope has to be the same as the original slope.

Answer 6

So it would be still be 1/3x

Answer 7

Now, to pass through those coordinate points we need to use the point slope form.

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-5=1/3(x+9)

y - 5 = 1/3x + 3
+5 +5
--------------
y = 1/3x + 8

Answer 8

ty :)

Answer 9

No problem
