Question

(1, -1); parallel to y = 2/5x - 3

How do I solve this using slope-intercept?

Answer 1

Slope intercept for is y=mx+b where "m" is your slope and "b" is your y intercept

the problem gives you a y intercept of -1(From (1,-1)) so that is your "b"
and parallel lines have the same slope so you just need to use the slope in the given line.
so your "m" = 2/5

so the final equation would be y = 2/5 x - 1
