write an equation in slope-intercept formof the line satisfying the given conditions: parallel to the graph of

3x-5y=7 andpasses through (0,-6)

1 answer

First get the slope m of the original line by putting
3x-5y = 7
into standard y = mx + b format.

y = (3/5)x -7/5

Obviously m = 3/5. It will be the same for the new line.

The equation of the new line is

(y+6)/x = m = 3/5

Rewrite that in standard form.
