thanks ven

The slop of the line it is parallel to is 5.
Using slope intercept equation
Y=5x+b
Plug in the (x,y) given and solve for you intercept, can you do that?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i already got y= -1/5x+33/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for the slope intercept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This what i get -6=5(3)+b
-6=15+b
b=-21
So your intercept is -21

I am not sure where you get -1/5 for your slope from, if it is parallel to the other one it have the same slope which is 5.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
NEVERMIND i messed up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
isn't that perpendicular
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lololol yeah
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You are right i was wrong i looked at it y= when it is x= let me fix it!

alrighty!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=1/5x+9
so Y=1/5x+b
-6=1/5(3)+b
-6=6/10+b
b=-6.6
Y=1/5x-6.6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
isn't it -1/5x?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It would be -1/5x if it was perpindicular but you said the line is parallel to it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay true

Sorry i mess up there before >.<
OpenStudy (anonymous):
where'd you get the 9 from?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait jk
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The 9 is not important. It is the y-intercept of the equation it is parallel to

i know i realized that lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
You get it now? :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but also 1/5 multiplied by 3 is 3/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well so do i write that ending equation in standard form and thats it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah 3/5=6/10, you had it right before me just made it perpindicular. Yeah that is the standard from

no because standard form is ax+by=c
OpenStudy (anonymous):
me so confuzzled
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh no that is the standard form we alway use. sorrry i am making it worse. you can move them over to get -6.6=y-1/5x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Which is -1/5x+y=-6.6 that is standard form so sorry
