identify an equation in slope-intercept form for the line parallel to y=-3x+7 that passes through (2,-4)

y = -3x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If two lines are parallel to each other, they have the same slope.

The first line is y = -3x + 7. Its slope is -3. A line parallel to this one will also have a slope of -3.

Plug this value (-3) into your standard point-slope equation of y = mx + b.

y = -3x + b

To find b, we want to plug in a value that we know is on this line: in this case, it is (2, -4). Plug in the x and y values into the x and y of the standard equation.

-4 = -3(2) + b

To find b, multiply the slope and the input of x (2)

-4 = -6 + b

Now, add 6 to both sides to isolate b.

2 = b

Plug this into your standard equation.

y = -3x + 2

This equation is parallel/perpendicular to your given equation (y = -3x + 7) and contains point (2, -4)

Hope this helps!

x = 25

step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

7^2+24^2=c^2

49+576=625

sqrt625=25

x=25
