Trigonometry Worksheet With Answers Page 2

Parallel lines:

- two lines with the same slope but different intercepts

- parallel lines never intersect

When trying to find the equation of a line that is parallel to some other

line, always start with the slopes. If two lines are parallel, their slopes are

the same.

Example 2: Find the slope-intercept form of a line passing through the

point �� ( 2, −4 ) that is parallel to the line �� =

�� − 2.

Example 3: Find the slope-intercept form of a line passing through the

point �� ( −3, 5 ) that is parallel to the line �� + 3�� = 1.

Example 4: Find the slope-intercept form of a line passing through the

point �� ( −3, 3 ) that is parallel to the ��-axis

Example 5: Find the slope-intercept form of a line with an ��-intercept −3

and parallel to the line �� =

�� + 5.

Example 6: Find the slope-intercept form of a line with a ��-intercept

and parallel to the line 5�� − 2�� =
