Write an equation in the indicated form for each statement described below.

Question

(A graph shows two lines intersecting at x=-2 and y= 1 in a tilted X shape)


A. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to the red line and going through the point (3,5).





B. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line perpendicular to the blue line and going through the point (-4, 0).

Answer 1

A: If the red line has slope m₁, then your line is

y-5 = m₁(x-3)

B: If the blue line has slope m₂ then your line is

y = (-1/m₂)(x+4)

So, use the needed slopes, and massage the equations into the form

y = mx+b

Answer 2

0.6 in indicated form
