Because the variable m does not appear in Ax + By = C, equations in this form make it impossible to determine the line's slope m. If the statement does not make sense, then how can you find m and what would it be? Show your work.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statetement does not make sense because we can rewrite the equation of the line in the slope intercept form

1) add -Ax at both members

Ax + By - Ax = -Ax + C

By = -Ax + C

2) divide both members by B (assuming that its value is not 0)

y = (-A/B) x  + C/B

the slope of the line is the therm that multiply x, so

m = -A/B

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9
