Find Any Equation Parallel to the Line 10x-11y=1

$10 x - 11 y = 1$

Step 1

Choose a point that the parallel line will pass through.

$(0, 0)$

Step 2

Rewrite in slope-intercept form.

The slope-intercept form is $y = m x + b$ , where $m$ is the slope and $b$ is the y-intercept.

$y = m x + b$

Subtract $10 x$ from both sides of the equation.

$- 11 y = 1 - 10 x$

Divide each term in $- 11 y = 1 - 10 x$ by $- 11$ and simplify.

Divide each term in $- 11 y = 1 - 10 x$ by $- 11$ .

$\frac{- 11 y}{- 11} = \frac{1}{- 11} + \frac{- 10 x}{- 11}$

Simplify the left side.

Cancel the common factor of $- 11$ .

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{- 11 y}{- 11} = \frac{1}{- 11} + \frac{- 10 x}{- 11}$

Divide $y$ by $1$ .

$y = \frac{1}{- 11} + \frac{- 10 x}{- 11}$

Simplify the right side.

Simplify each term.

Move the negative in front of the fraction.

$y = - \frac{1}{11} + \frac{- 10 x}{- 11}$

Dividing two negative values results in a positive value.

$y = - \frac{1}{11} + \frac{10 x}{11}$

Write in $y = m x + b$ form.

Reorder $- \frac{1}{11}$ and $\frac{10 x}{11}$ .

$y = \frac{10 x}{11} - \frac{1}{11}$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{10}{11} x - \frac{1}{11}$

Step 3

Using the slope-intercept form, the slope is $\frac{10}{11}$ .

$m = \frac{10}{11}$

Step 4

To find an equation that is parallel, the slopes must be equal. Find the parallel line using the point-slope formula.

Step 5

Use the slope $\frac{10}{11}$ and a given point $(0, 0)$ to substitute for $x_{1}$ and $y_{1}$ in the point-slope form $y - y_{1} = m (x - x_{1})$ , which is derived from the slope equation $m = \frac{y_{2} - y_{1}}{x_{2} - x_{1}}$ .

$y - (0) = \frac{10}{11} \cdot (x - (0))$

Step 6

Simplify the equation and keep it in point-slope form.

$y + 0 = \frac{10}{11} \cdot (x + 0)$

Step 7

Solve for $y$ .

Add $y$ and $0$ .

$y = \frac{10}{11} \cdot (x + 0)$

Simplify $\frac{10}{11} \cdot (x + 0)$ .

Add $x$ and $0$ .

$y = \frac{10}{11} \cdot x$

Combine $\frac{10}{11}$ and $x$ .

$y = \frac{10 x}{11}$

Reorder terms.

$y = \frac{10}{11} x$

Step 8
