Write the point-slope form of the line that passes through (5,5) and is parallel to a line with a slope of 1/4 include all of your work in your final answer.

The point-slope form of the line that passes through (5,5) and is parallel to a line with a slope of is x -4y +15 = 0

Solution:

The point slope form of the line that passes through the points and parallel to the line with slope “m” is given as  

--- eqn 1

Where “m” is the slope of the line. are the points that passes through the line.

From question, given that slope “m” =

Given that the line passes through the points (5,5).Hence we get

By substituting the values in eqn 1, we get the point slope form of the line which is parallel to the line having slope can be found out.

On cross multiplying we get

4y – 20 = x – 5

On rearranging, we get

x-5-4y+20 = 0

x – 4y +15 = 0

hence the point slope form the given line is x – 4y +15 = 0
