C(-1,6);y=2/5x-2 what is the equation of the parallel lines.

9514 1404 393

  y = 2/5x +32/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line is in slope-intercept form.

  y = mx + b . . . . . . m is the slope; b is the y-intercept

The value of the slope in the given line is m=2/5. A parallel line will have the same slope. In general, it will have a different y-intercept. That value can be found from the given point.

  y = 2/5x + b

  6 = 2/5(-1) +b

  6 +2/5 = b = 32/5

The equation of the parallel line through (-1, 6) is ...

  y = 2/5x +32/5

x= -3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify brackets

4 - x - 1 = 6

step 2: simpilfy

3 - x = 6

step 3: subtract 3 from both sides

-x = 6 - 3

step 4: simpilfy 6 - 3

-x = 3

step 5: multiply both sides by -1

x = -3
