Question

I forgot how to do this it's like algebra level so kinda embarrassing:

Find the slope intercept form of a line satisfying the given conditions; passing through (-2,4) and parallel to a line passing (-5,2) and (-3,-1)

Answer 1

first you need the slope of the line through (-5,2) and (-3,-1)

Answer 2

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)


m = (-1-2)/(-3-(-5))


m = (-1-2)/(-3+5)


m = ???

Answer 3

-3/2

Answer 4

so we know the slope is m = -3/2

and we want this line to go through (-2,4)

Answer 5

y = mx + b

y = -3/2x + b

4 = (-3/2)(-2) + b

4 = 6/2 + b

4 = 3 + b

...

b = ??

Answer 6

1

Answer 7

you got it, so the equation is y = -3/2x + 1

Answer 8

oh, wow! haha that was a lot easier than what I thought haha thankyou! And thanks for showing me step by step not just gving me the answer

Answer 9

you're welcome
