Question

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

y = 0.8x − 1; (−5, 8)

Answer 1

Answer:

y = 0.8x +12

Step-by-step explanation:

parallel line means it has similar gradient m= 0.8

Y = MX + C

just substitute the coordinate (-5,8) to find the variable c

8 = 0.8(-5) + C

C = 12

our answer is y = 0.8x + 12
