example determine the equation of the line

Question

Example:  Determine the equation of the line which passes through the point (8, 2) and is, parallel to the line given by 10 y+ 3x = -2

Solution

In both of parts we are going to require the slope of the line given by 10 y+3x= -2 thus let's actually determine that before we get into the individual parts.

10 y = -3x - 2

y = -    3/10x -1/5       ⇒ m₁ = -3/10
