A line passes through (12,5) and is parallel to the graph of y=2/3x-1. What equation represents the line in slope-intercept?

Sagot :

First, we need to find the slope of the equation;

y=2/3x-1

To find the slope, compare the equation with y=mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the intercept

Comparing the two equations, m= 2/3

Slope of parallel equations are equal, hence, the slope of our new equation is 2/3

We will go ahead and find the intercept of the new equation

Substitute m= 2/3 x=12 and y=5 into y=mx + b and solve for b

That is;

y = mx + b

5 = (2/3)(12) + b

5 = 8 + b

subtract 8 from both-side of the equation

5 - 8 = b

- 3 = b

b= -3

To form the new equation

Substritute m = 2/3 and b= -3 into

y=mx + b

y = 2/3 x - 3
