What is the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the point(5,0) and is parallel to the line represented by y = 1.2 x + 3.8?

Answer 1

You will need the point-slope form to convert into the slope-intercept form.

Point: (5, 0) and the line is parallel to y = 1.2x + 3.8.

y - 0 = 1.2(x - 5)

y - 0 = 1.2x - 6

y = 1.2x - 6

The lines are parallel if their slopes are the same, but have different y-intercepts.
