Answer:
y= 1/5x + 12/5
Step-by-step explanation:
- Points: (0, -3) and (-5, -4)
- Line: y= mx+b
- Slope: m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (-4+3)/(-5-0)= -1/-5= 1/5
- Y-intercept: -3= 0*1/5+b ⇒ b= -3
- So the line is: y= 1/5x - 3
Parallel line to this has same slope and passes through the point (-2, 2)
- Its y- intercept is: 2= 1/5(-2)+b ⇒ b= 2+2/5= 12/5
The required equation in slope- intercept form is:
