Question

Christopher wants to build a road named Stargazer Boulevard that will be parallel to Moonbeam drive. On the road, he will build a dinner located at 7 blocks north of the community garden. Determine the equation of the line that represents Stargazer Blvd.

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = -4/5x +23

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of Moonbeam Drive is ...

  m = rise/run = -16/20 = -4/5

The y-intercept of Moonbeam Drive is +16. Moving it 7 blocks north will put it at +23.

The equation of parallel Stargazer Boulevard will be ...

  y = -4/5x +23
