theequation of line p is y=1/7x-10. line q, which is parallel to line p, includes (2,-1). what is the equation of line q?
y+_x+_
Since line q is parallel to line p, it will have the same slope. The slope of line p is 1/7.
Using the formula y = mx + b, where m represents the slope and b represents the y-intercept, we can find the equation of line q.
Substituting the given point (2,-1) into the equation y = mx + b, we have -1 = (1/7)(2) + b.
Simplifying, -1 = 2/7 + b.
To solve for b, subtract 2/7 from both sides of the equation:
-1 - 2/7 = b.
-7/7 - 2/7 = b.
-9/7 = b.
The y-intercept, b, is equal to -9/7.
The equation of line q is y = 1/7x - 9/7.
