Find the equation for the line that is parallel to the given line & passes through the given point.

Question

y= 3/5x -9

given point: (-10, -23)

Answer 1

???????????????? "passesessesssssssss thru" ????????????

a line GO THRU points

me assume that formula shood be y=(3/5)x-9, so slope=0.6

point=(-10,-23)

extend line from x=-10 tu x=0, deltax=10, deltay=slope*deltax=0.6*10=6

y=-23+6=-17, so line go thru (0,-17)

y=0.6x-17

Answer 2

muneepenee's answer is correct.

Parallel to means "has the same slope as", so the answer will also have a slope of 3/5. And the Y Intercept (c) is calculated by working the given point back to the y axis (where x = 0) using the slope (each 1 unit of x corresponds to 3/5 units of y)

Answer 3

Given y= 3/5x -9
And point(-10, -23)
slope of =3/5
To pass through a point

SUBTRACT the values of the point from their relative variable
y=3x/5
(y+23)=[3(x+10)]/5
y=3x/5-17

Hence the equation is: y=3x/5-17
