Q:

The equation of line AB is y 5x+ 1. Write an equation of a line paraliei to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains point (4, 5)

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:The equation would be y = 5x - 15Step-by-step explanation:To find the equation to this line, we first have to note that parallel lines have the same slope. Since the original line has a slope of 5, we know that the new line will also have that slope. Then we can use the slope and the point in point-slope form and solve for y. y - y1 = m(x - x1)y - 5 = 5(x - 4)y - 5 = 5x - 20y = 5x - 15
