Question

write the equation of the line passing through the point (2,-5) parallel to y=7?

Answer 1

...did you graph it?

Answer 2

With or without graph, this should not be difficult to solve.

Answer 3

Y = mx +c you know m find c by putting values (2,-5) in the equation

Answer 4

true im just saying the graph would give you a visual

Answer 5

When it says parallel to a particular line or slope, it just means that slope of the equation you are solving is the same as the given

Answer 6

Let @VicVic decided :)

Answer 7

Without a graph.

Answer 8

K can you solve it from heere vic?

Answer 9

No I am still lost.

Answer 10

And every time you are looking for the equation of a line, it is always good to prepare the y-intercept form
Y= mx+b
Where m is your slope and b is the y-intercept, which has the coordinate (0, b)

Answer 11

I think Let me draw the graph as well

Answer 12

I know the point-slope is y-y1= m(x-x1). @nincompoop

Answer 13

Yeh

Answer 14

So again which formula do i use to solve this problem?

Answer 15

So that means your line of reference has a zero slope
y=m(0)+7

Answer 16

Noooooo I don't understand what is the answer?

Answer 17

This also means that the one you are solving has a zero slope.

Answer 18

We don't give out answers, coocoobird

Answer 19

What is coocoobird?

Answer 20

take the slope same as y=7 and choose c in (y-y1)=m(x-x1) just insert the points

Answer 21

Using the point-slope form with zero slope it would look like this
Y-y1 = 0 (x-x1)
Solve the rest, scoochielooch

Answer 22

IF you don't know how solve from this point on, then you've got a bigger problem

Answer 23

I'll tie you a technique later when you grasp the whole concept so your life will be easier

Answer 24

Do you understand, coocoovic?

Answer 25

Do not call me that. I know exactly what it means. Thank you but your help is no longer needed. @nincompoop
