Write the slope intercept form of the equation of the line described

Hello!

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Now, we first can find the slope. We know the line is parallel to y = 2/5x - 2, and parallel lines always have the same slope. Therefore, we now know that the slope (or m) is 2/5. Substitute that in the equation.

y = 2/5x + b

Finally, we are given a point. We can substitute (-5, -3) into the equation, and then solve for b.

x = -5, y = -3

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

-3 = -2 + b

-1 = b

Now, we know what b is. Substitute this into the equation.

Therefore, y = 2/5x - 1 is our final equation.

Hope this helps!

x = 2

step-by-step explanation:

if sr parallel to ba then the sides bc and ac are in proportion, that is

= ← substitute values

= ( cross- multiply )

27x = 6(4x + 1)

27x = 24x + 6 ( subtract 24x from both sides )

3x = 6 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 2
