Question

write the equation of the line in slope-intercept form that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. 

y=4/9x+1, (45,18)

atlas · Answer

The slope-intercept form of line is y=mx +c as I mentioned earlier
If a line is parallel to another line their slopes are same.

atlas · Answer

You can find the slope of the given line : m by matching it with the standard form of slope intercept
y = mx +c
y = (4/9)x +1

atlas · Answer

can you tell me the slope of the given line

anonymous · Answer

4/9

atlas · Answer

right!!

atlas · Answer

so the new line which is PARALLEL to the given line will have the same slope: SO, the equation of the new line is y =4/9 x +c
we got m - now we just need to get c

atlas · Answer

If the line is passing through (45,18) the points must satisfy the equation for the line
we will put x = 45 and y=18 in the above equation and find c

anonymous · Answer

so it would be y=4/9x+2 ?

anonymous · Answer

@tgawade is this the right answer y=4/9x+2 ?
