Question

Find the slope of the line parallel to the line y = -5x + 24 and goes through the point (24,79).

Answer 1

Do you know what point-slope form is?

Answer 2

nope

Answer 3

Point-slope form is \[y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\] . Sooooooo.... you need to put the two points in this equation.


So \[y-79=-5(x-24)\]

Answer 4

okay

Answer 5

Then you need to simplify that and put it into slope-intercept form which is y=mx+b

Answer 6

okay thank you

Answer 7

would it be y=-5x+199

Answer 8

Yep
