Question

5 streets parallel to the street that passes through the points (-2,7) and (10,-1)

Answer 1

Please add more to your problem statement. it's unclear what you're supposed to do based upon the info you've typed in here.

Answer 2

It's a city design project for my geometry class. I'm supposed to graph 5 other lines that are parallel to the points (-2, 7) and (10,-1). I'm trying to figure out how to find what those other points are. @mathmale

Answer 3

thanks for the clarification. Please find the slope of the line that passes thru the points (-2,7) and (10,-1).

Once you have the numeric value of this slope, subst. it into the slope-intercept equation of a straight line, y = mx + b. Now, choose 5 different values of b and write the corresponding 5 equations representing parallel streets.

Answer 4

In typing "lines that are parallel to the points (-2, 7) and (10,-1)" you actually mean "lines that are parallel to the line through the points (-2, 7) and (10,-1). Lines are not parallel to points; they are parallel to other lines.
