Q. Line v v has an equation of y=15x+9 y=-\frac{1}{5} x+9 . Line w w includes the point (10,1) (-10,1) and is parallet to line v v . What is the equation of line w?
  1. Identify Slope of Line ww: Since line ww is parallel to line vv, it will have the same slope as line vv. The slope of line vv is the coefficient of xx, which is (15)-\left(\frac{1}{5}\right).
  2. General Form of Line Equation: The general form of the equation of a line is y=mx+by = mx + b, where mm is the slope and bb is the y-intercept. Since we know the slope of line ww is (15)-\left(\frac{1}{5}\right), we can write its equation as y=(15)x+by = -\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)x + b, where bb is the y-intercept we need to find.
  3. Find Y-Intercept using Point: To find the y-intercept bb, we can use the point (10,1)(-10,1) which lies on line ww. We substitute xx with 10-10 and yy with 11 into the equation y=15x+by = -\frac{1}{5}x + b and solve for bb.\newline1=(15)(10)+b1 = -\left(\frac{1}{5}\right)(-10) + b\newline(10,1)(-10,1)00\newline(10,1)(-10,1)11\newline(10,1)(-10,1)22
  4. Write Final Equation of Line w: Now that we have the slope and the y-intercept, we can write the final equation of line w. It is y=15x1y = -\frac{1}{5}x - 1.
