Question

what is the equation of a line that is parallel to y=35x−7 and passes through (15, 8)? enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

y = 35x - 517.

Explanation:

y=35x−7

This line has a slope of 35so we can write a line parallel to it as

y - y1 = 35(x - x1) where (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

We are given this point (15, 8), so:

y - 8 = 35(x - 15)

y = 35x - 525 + 8

y = 35x - 517 is the required equation.
