A contractor is building a new subdivision on the outside of a city. He has started work on the first street and is planning for the other streets to run in a direction parallel to the first. The second street will pass through (1, 5). Find the equation of the location of the second street in standard form.

x + y = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard Form:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

In this question, the coordinate is (1, 5) with a slope of -1 (the slope is the same as street 1 since street 2 is going to be parallel.

Insert the coordinate and slope into standard form and you'll get this:

y - 5 = -1 ( x - 1 )

y - 5 = -x + 1

y = -x + 6

y + x = 6

hope this helps.

what are ur choices?
