Find the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.

Question

y=-1/5x-7;(13,0)

The equation is y=

Answer 1

Slope of parallel lines are equal.

so you have slope of the line m= -1/5

and you have the point given.

you can write the equation using point slope form

y-y1 = m(x -x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the given point

Hope this helps
