An important postulate in geometry states: "through point p, there is only one line parallel to ". what is the equation of line l, parallel to ab that passes through point x?

y=(-5/12)x+(95/12)

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the slope of the line AB

m=(3-8)/(2+10)=-5/12

step 2

Find the slope of the line parallel to AB

we know that

If two lines are parallel then their slopes are the same

so

the slope is m=-5/12

step 3

Find the equation of the line l parallel to AB that passes through Point X

The equation of the line into point slope form is equal to

y-y1=m(x-x1)

substitute

y-10=(-5/12)(x+5)

y=(-5/12)x-(25/12)+10

y=(-5/12)x+(95/12)
