Need some on this . i'm already almost failing. write an equation for the line parallel to the given line that contains c. c ( -1, 5); y = 2/5 x - 6

y = x +

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

y = x - 6 is in this form with slope m =

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

y = x + c is the partial equation of parallel line

to find c , substitute (- 1, 5 ) into the partial equation

5 = - + c ⇒ c = 5 + =

y = x + ← equation of parallel line

ummm seems that u didnt post the attachement !
