Line m includes the points (-5, 3) and (-2,-6). Line n is parallel to line m and has
y-intercept of -2/3. Write the equation for line n in slope-intercept form.

Respuesta :

Answer:

y+2/3=9/7(x-0)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Find the slope

 [tex]\frac{-6-3}{-2-5} = \frac{-9}{-7} = \frac{9}{7}[/tex]

2. Since they are parallel the slopes are the same

3. Insert slope and y-intercept into slope intercept form y-y=m(x-x)

 y-(-2/3)=9/7(x-(0))

4. Since I am too lazy to look for another point I will use the intercept point (0,-2/3)

5. Simplify

y+2/3=9/7(x-0)
