y = 37x - 680 y=37x680

Explanation:

Since the y= 37x + 29 's slope is 37, thus our line is also has the same slope.

m1=m2= 37

using point slope equation, y-y1 = m(x-x1)

y - y 1 = m (x - x 1 )yy1=m(xx1)

y - 23 = 37 (x - 19 )y23=37(x19)

y - 23 = 37x - 703 y23=37x703

y = 37x - 703+23 y=37x703+23

y = 37x - 680 y=37x680

y=37x-680y=37x680

Explanation:

We know that, if the slope of the line l_1l1 is m_1m1 and the slope of the line l_2 l2is m_2m2 then color(red)(l_1////l_2<=>m_1=m_2l1//l2m1=m2 (parallel lines)

The line l l passes through (19,23)(19,23).

Line l l is parallel to y=37x+29y=37x+29

Comparing with y=mx+c=>m=37y=mx+cm=37

So, the slope of the line l l is m=37m=37

The equation of line l l passes through (x_1,y_1) and (x1,y1)and has

slope m is

color(red)(y-y_1=m(x-x_1)yy1=m(xx1).,where,( x_1,y_1)=(19,23) and m=37(x1,y1)=(19,23)andm=37

:.y-23=37(x-19)

=>y-23=37x-703

=>y=37x-680
