Question

Identify an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y=5x+2 that passes through (-6,-1).

Answer 1

D

Explanation:

gradient for the line y=5x+2 = 5 from y=mx+c where m =gradient

parallel lines have equal gradients thus M2=5

equation for line passing through point (-6,-1) and gradient , m=5 will be

(change in y/change in x)=M2

(y--1/x--6)=5

y+1/x+6 =5

y+1=5(x+6)

y+1=5x+30

y=5x+29
