Write the equation of a line that is parallel to y = (-8/21)x - 1 and goes through (0,5).
Two things to note here:
- parallel lines have equal slopes - at the y-intercept, the value of x is zero Parallel to y = (-8/21)x - 1 would have the same slope. slope = -8/21 The point (0,5) is the y-intercept, because at the y-intercept, x is zero. y-intercept is 5 y = mx + b {slope-intercept form} y = (-8/21)x + 5 is the equation of the line. {substituted into slope-intercept form} Ask the House
