Video5: Given 1 Equation

For this example, they actually give you the equation and slope intercept form. Remember Y equals MX plus B the M stands for slope, the slope is in front of the X, the B stands for the Y intercept. So we're only looking at the slope number to find out what other line is parallel to this one. A line that's parallel has what? The same exact number in front of the X so this asks us the equation of the line J is Y equals negative 8 over 5 X plus 7 over three. Line K is parallel. What is the slope of line K? If the slope of line J is negative 8 over 5, it's parallel, that means that it has to have the same exact number in front of the X, which is negative 8 over 5 is your slope. And
