Write the slope intercept form of an equation for the line that is parrallel to 5x-3y=1 and passes through (0,-4)

Find first the slope of that given line, since that is what is common between the given line and the line which you are being asked to look for.

Can you find the slope of 5x-3y = 1 ?

Recall that the slope intercept form of an equation is: y = mx + c

Where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept.

Equation of Line

Helping my little sister with her homeowrk but we cant figure out this problem!!!


Write the slope intercept form of an equation for the line that is parrallel to 5x-3y=1 and passes through (0,-4)

If the equation we want is parallel to the given equation, then it must have the same slope.


We need to solve the equation 5x - 3y = 1 for y. By so doing, we are writing the equation in the slope-intercept form, which is y = mx + b.


-3y = -5x + 1


y = (-5/-3)(x) + (1)/(-3)


y = (5/3)(x) - 1/3...This equation is now in the y = mx + b form.


The slope of the equation we want is 5/3.


Plug (5/3) for m and the given point (0, -4) into the point-slope formula and simplify.
