Find the equation of the line passing through the given point and parallel to the given line.(3, 2); x +2y = 5?
x + 2y = 5
2y = -x + 5
y = -x/2 + 5/2
The gradient of the given line is '-1/2' ; the coefficient of 'x'.
For parallel lines the gradient is the same at '-1/2'
Hence substituting
y - 2 = ( -x -3) / 2 + 5/2
Notice you displace the given point against the corresponding (x,y)
Hence
y - 2 = -x/2 - 3/2 + 5/2
y - 2 = -x/2 + 2/2
y = -x/2 + 2 + 2/2 NB 2/2 = 1
y = -x/2 + 3
Multiplying through by '2'
2y = -x + 6
In the original form it is
x + 2y = 6 is the parallel line.

Another name for the Playfair Axiom is the Euclid's Parallel Postulate. It states that given a line and a point not on that line, there is exactly one line parallel to the given line passing through the given point.
The equation of the line joining through -1 3 amd parallel to the line joining 6 3 2 -3?
To find the equation of a line parallel to another line, we need the same direction vector. The direction vector of the given line is (2, -3). Therefore, the equation of the line parallel to it passing through (-1, 3) is x = -1 + 2t and y = 3 - 3t, where t is a parameter.

How do you find a slope-intercept form of an equation passing through another point?
Assuming that you are given another equation and need to find another equation in slope-intercept form passing through a given point. --- Ex. Find the equation of a line passing through (2, 5) and parallel to y = 3x -7. 3x means the slope is 3 and parallel means the new slope will be the same.use y = mx + b, substitute the point (2, 5) for x and y and substitute 3 for the slope, m. you get:y = mx + b5 = 3(2) + b5 = 6 + b-1 = bNow reuse y = mx + b and substitute m = 3 and b = -1 but leave y and x as variables to get the answer:y = 3x -1There are other ways to do this so you probably need to see if this is the method that your teacher wants.
