Question

Write an equation of the line through each point. Use slope-intercept form (1,-1); parallel to y=2/5x-3

Answer 1

Are you having trouble with the distribution process with the 2/5?

Answer 2

Eq. of any line parallel to
y=2/5 x-3 is
y=2/5 x+c ......(1)
Because it passes through (1,-1)
-1=2/5*1+c
\[c=-1-\frac{ 2 }{ 5 }=\frac{ -7 }{ 5 }\]
put in (1) and get the required equation.
