Question

Considerine line y=3/5x+4.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and passes through the point (-5, -1)

Answer 1

y = 3/5x + 2

Explanation:
Parallel lines have the same gradient, so

y = 3/5x + c

Put in your point (-5,-1):

(-1) = 3/5(-5) + c

-1 = -3 + c

-1 + 3 = c

2 = c

So

y = 3/5x + 2
