Find the slope intercept form of the line passing through the point (5,0) and parallel to the line y=-3x=3
Answer provided by our tutors
the slope intercept equation of the line is
y = mx + b,
where m is the slope, b is the y-intercept
the line is parallel to y - 3x = 3
lets write y - 3x = 3 in slope intercept form
y = 3x + 3
the slope of this line is 3
since parallel lines have equal slopes follows m = 3
y = 3x + b
the line goes trough (5,0) that is for x = 5, y = 0
0 = 3*5 + b
b + 15 = 0
b = -15
the slope-intercept equation of the line is
y = 3x - 15
