Question

Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line.
(9,-7); 7x-4y=5
the equation of the line is y=?

Answer 1

first find slope of the given equation

Answer 2

okay so how would i find the slope

Answer 3

7x-4y=5
-4y=-7x+5
divide by -4
y=7/4x-5/4
slope is 7/4

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

a parallel line is any line with the same slope
to contain the given point you have to use point slope form

Answer 6

y+7=7/4(x-9)
7/4 is the slope so we keep that and we include point (9,-7)
now you just have to change that into slope intercept form

Answer 7

y+7=7/4(x-9)
y+7=7/4x-63/4
y=7/4x-91/4

Answer 8

so the last one is the answer to the equation then
? you explain more well than most most people dont explain it good

Answer 9

y=7/4x-91/4

Answer 10

thanks

Answer 11

sometimes i do these pretty fast so i am sorry if i made a mistake

Answer 12

you didnt thanks though your a big help
