Write the equation of the line that passes through (-6,0) and is parallel to the line y=5x-43

The equation of the line that passes through (-6,0) and is parallel to the line y = 5x - 43 in slope intercept is y = 5x + 30

Solution:

Given that line that passes through (-6, 0) and is parallel to the line y = 5x - 43

We have to find the equation of line

Let us first find slope of line having equation y = 5x - 43

The slope intercept form of line is given as:

y = mx + c   eqn 1

Where "m" is the slope of line and "c" is the y - intercept

On comparing equation of line y = 5x - 43 with slope intercept form y = mx + c,

we get m = 5

Thus slope of given line is 5

We know that slopes of parallel lines are equal

Thus the slope of line parallel to given line is also 5

Now let us find equation of line having slope "5" and passes through (-6, 0)

Substitute m = 5 and (x, y) = (-6, 0) in eqn 1

y = mx + c

0 = 5(-6) + c

Thus the required equation is:

Substitute c = 30 and m = 5 in eqn 1

y = 5x + 30

Thus the required equation of line is found

4/6 = 2/3

so it should take 3/3 hours per man. so 9 hours is the answer 3*3 =9
