Question

The line through (4,2) parallel to y=-5/7x +1. Show me how to solve using slope formula? Thank you. No answer needed, i have them, just studying. :)

Answer 1

i will just take it as it says
slope

Answer 2

if you want a line parallel

just give it the same slope

of that as the same to

y=-5/7x +1

Answer 3

slope formula
y1 - y2
m = ---------
x1 - x2

your problem
" line through (4,2) "

line through (4,2) implies that it will cross this point

so this will be one of the points

"parallel"

implies it will never will always have the same distance between line and will never intersect

therefore it must have

same slope

as original problem

(4)1 - y2
5/7 = --------
( 2 )1 - x2

parenthesis here do not mean to multiply
they mean substitute for this case

Answer 4

u good?

Answer 5

i'm not sure, i thought there was only one formula

Answer 6

i am only using one formula right now

Answer 7

it is

slope formula

the other one you see there is your question
in the problem that is posted

Answer 8

isnt that midpoint formula?

Answer 9

no it is not

Answer 10

mid point you have divide 2

Answer 11

oh

Answer 12

but do you understand the logic to this work i did?

Answer 13

hypothetical example




parallel lines

must have same
slope
same distance
from each other

to satisfy as parallel lines

Answer 14

thank you
