Question

i got 2/9x-73/9

Answer 1

what's the question?

Answer 2

o crap that i thought i was replying sorry

Answer 3

but i do have a ?

Answer 4

what is it ^_^?

Answer 5

write an equation of the line containing the given point and parellel to the given line...
(2,-5);9x-4y=7

Answer 6

Solve the given equation for 'y' and take the slop of that equation and the x & y values of the given point and insert them into the y=mx+b formula. Solve for b.

Answer 7

i get that i just know how to solve for b ..this is for an online course. im so frustrated.

Answer 8

We've already answered this question in your previous thread. I dunno why people keep making duplicate questions

Answer 9

okay first let's re-write the function in terms of y :

y =( 7-9x)/-4
= 9x/4 -7/4

then find m (slope)

since it's parallel then the slope won't change:

m = 9/4

now you know the equation that we use to find the function right? :

y - yo = m(x - xo)

substitute the points and m and solve for y ^_^ , you'l get:

y +5 = 9/4(x - 2)
y = 9/4x -19/2

^_^ that's it

Answer 10

no need to be frustrated, I'll give you a hint.

When we have a parallel line then the slope never changes it'll stay the same, but when the line is perpendicular, then you must take the reciprocal of the slow ^_^

Answer 11

slope*

Answer 12

tarantino, did you understand it now ? :)

Answer 13

yes
