Question

Line AB passes through A(-3, 0) and B(-6, 5). What is the equation of the line that passes through the origin and is parallel to Line AB ?

Answer 1

Parallel line means they have the same slope.

First, you must calculate the slope of the line AB using the slope formula:
\(\sf \Large m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\)

Answer 2

I got 5/-3

Answer 3

y=-5x/3
5x/3 + y = 0
5x+3y=0

Answer 4

Unfortunately, 5x+3y isn't an option :( But 3x+5y is. Does the difference matter?

Answer 5

A big one.

Answer 6

Oh my bad I forgot one step you multiply the equation by -1.

Answer 7

Your answer should come out to be C.

Answer 8

Thank you!!!!
