will fan and medal if someone can help me with my homework

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need to see how to do this so i can base it on the rest of my homework

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write the equation of the line through each point. Use slope-intercept form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

#1. (1,-1); parallel to y=2/5x-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does the line have to pass through (1,-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there doesn't have to be a line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just the equation of it...but if it had to pass through a line then yeah i'd guess so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay lemme try to figure this out real quick k?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alrighty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

'm' is the variable for slope right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or is it b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Y=mx+b m=slope b=y-intercept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was thinking of point slope for a sec lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if the line is parrallel tht means tht the slope is the same right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perpendicular lines have slopes that are negative reciprocals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is this a multiple choice cuz i think i know the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i worked the problem out and got y=2/5x-3/5 hope this helped
