(2, –12).

anonymous · Answer

Do you know how to plot your graph?

marcelie · Answer

yes

lynfran · Answer

hint when two lines are parallel their slope are equal...(they have the same slope)
equation of a line ==> y=mx+b
when m=slope and b = y-intercept

marcelie · Answer

is my answer  : f(x)= -5x-2 ?

lynfran · Answer

points (2,-12) m=-5
y=mx+b
-12=(-5)(2)+b
-12=-10+b
-12+10=b
-2=b
yes 
y=-5x-2

Okay. I need help with this one . How do i solve it ?

Find the point at which the line f (x) = 2x + 5
intersects the line g(x) = − 3x − 5.

anonymous · Answer

okay, can you graph both of the lines?

lynfran · Answer

to find where they intersect we equate the two function and solve for x
... 2x+5=-3x-5

lynfran · Answer

2x+5=-3x-5
2x+3x=-5-5
5x=-10
x=-2
