Find the equation of the line parallel to x+3y = 4 and passing through the point (2, 5)

The equation of the parallel line is x + 3y = 17

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel lines have the same slopes and different y-intercept

The form of the equation y = m x + b, where

∵ The equation of the given line is x + 3y = 4

→ We must put it in the form above to find its slope

→ Subtract x from both sides to move x to the right side

∵ x - x + 3y = 4 - x

∴ 3y = 4 - x

→ Divide both sides by 3 to make the coefficient of y = 1

∴

∴ y = -   x

→ Compare it with the form of the equation above

∴ m =

∵ Parallel lines have the same slopes

∴ The slope of the parallel line is

→ Put it in the form of the equation

∴ y =   x + b

→ To find b substitute x and y in the equation by the coordinates

   of a point on the line

∵ The line passes through the point (2, 5)

∴ x = 2 and y = 5

→ Substitute them in the equation

∴ 5 =   (2) + b

∴ 5 =   + b

→ Add    to both sides

∴ = b

→ Substitute it in the form of the equation above

∴ y = x +

→ Multiply each term by 3

∴ 3y = - x + 17

→ Add x to both sides

∴ x + 3y = 17

∴ The equation of the parallel line is x + 3y = 17

Equation of a Line

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope. We are given the equation of the line:

x+3y=4

To find the slope of this line, we must solve for y:

The slope of this line is:

The equation of the new line has the same slope. To find its equation, we use the point-slope form of the line:

y-k=m(x-h)

Where (h,k)=(2,5). Thus:

if this is really you s much. i only have 3 points left and i have 2 questions to ask

answer: the two figures are congruent.

step-by-step explanation: they're congruent because figure efgh is reflected across the x and y axis but it was also rotated.

hope it !
