gee ima tree[GEOMETRY] HELP?
ok so how do you put this in slope intercept form:
y-1=1/5(x+4)
AND how do i find and equation of the line that passes thru the point (3,8) and parallel to the line with the above equation…..?

You need y by itself, and no parentheses with x. So distribute the 1/5, then add 1 to both sides:
y = 1/5 x + 4/5 + 1
y = 1/5 x + 1 4/5
Parallel lines have equal slopes so the line through (3,8) is
y = 1/5 x + something.
Put in 3 for x and 8 for y: 8 = 1/5 (3) + something
Do this out and find the number that goes where “something” is to complete it.

just simplify it
y-1=1/5(x+4)
y-1=(1/5)x + 4/5
y=(1/5)x + 4/5 +1, since 1=5/5
y=(1/5)x + 9/5
and since its a parallel, the slope remains the same which is 1/5, so just replace -1 with 8, and 4 with 3, so you have
y-8=1/5(x+3), try to solve it yourself
