Write the slope-intercept equation of the line that is parallel to -9x-7y=4 and has the same y-intercept as the graph of -5x+11y=-22.
A slope intercept equation is a linear equation in the form of y = mx + b, where m represents the slope of the line and b represents the y-intercept, or the point where the line crosses the y-axis.
The slope of a line in a slope intercept equation is represented by the coefficient of x, or m. To find the slope, you can use the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are any two points on the line.
Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect. In a slope intercept equation, parallel lines will have the same slope, but different y-intercepts.
If two lines have the same slope, then they are parallel. In a slope intercept equation, this means that the coefficient of x, or m, will be the same for both lines.
Yes, you can graph parallel lines using their slope intercept equations. The slope will be the same for both lines, but the y-intercepts will be different. Plot the y-intercept for each line, and then use the slope to find other points on the line to create a straight line graph.
