What is an equation of the line that is parallel to y-3x + 5 = 0 and has the same y-intersect as y= -2x+7?
-
y - 3x + 5 = 0
y = 3x - 5
Slope = 3
The slope of a parallel line will have the same slope as the original line, so
m = 3
y = - 2x + 7
y-int.(0, 7)
Equation of Parallel Line:
y = 3x + 7
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
y = 3x - 5
Slope = 3
The slope of a parallel line will have the same slope as the original line, so
m = 3
y = - 2x + 7
y-int.(0, 7)
Equation of Parallel Line:
y = 3x + 7

first of all put your equation on this sample: y=ax+b
first one would be
y-3x+5=0
-3x+5=-y
divide by -1 to remove the - from the y
then you have y=3x-5
and the second one is already y=-2x+7
a parallel equation has the same "a" than the equation it must be parallel to.
an equation that has the same y-intersect has the same "b" as te other one
the equation would be y=3x+7
first one would be
y-3x+5=0
-3x+5=-y
divide by -1 to remove the - from the y
then you have y=3x-5
and the second one is already y=-2x+7
a parallel equation has the same "a" than the equation it must be parallel to.
an equation that has the same y-intersect has the same "b" as te other one
the equation would be y=3x+7
