Question

Write the equation of the line for the following condition.

parallel to the line y = 4/9x + 5 through point (-2, 1)

@shamil98

Answer 1

parallel lines have the same slope
but you gotta find b
plug your values into

y = mx + b
and solve for b.

Answer 2

So wait, what would be the point for y = 4/9x + 5

Answer 3

no..

Answer 4

(x,y) --> (-2,1)
m = 4/9
plug them into
y = mx + b
and find the y-intercept.. (the value of b)

Answer 5

1 = (4/9) - 2 + b

correct?

Answer 6

yes now solve for b

Answer 7

17/9 ?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

so what is your final equation then?

Answer 10

1 = (4/9) - 2 + 17/9

Answer 11

no..
you want it in y =mx + b
form
you simply just put your slope and b value in
y = (4/9)x + 17/9

Answer 12

Oh wait so I don't add the (-2, 1) in the equation?

Answer 13

nope.

Answer 14

Oh, okay, I thought I did.
