Question

write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. (-5,3); 9x=2y+3

Answer 1

parallel lines have same slope so y=mx+b then use point and slope to find b

Answer 2

9x-3=2y
y=9/2 x - 3/2 so slope is 9/2

Answer 3

plug in 9/2 and -5 for x and 3 for y and solve for b

Answer 4

are you following me

Answer 5

yes

Answer 6

after i plug it in than what is next

Answer 7

what did you get for b

Answer 8

b=51/2 so 3=-45/2 + b add -45/2 to both sides and change 3 to 6/2 so you can add 45/2
y=9/2 x +51/2

Answer 9

thank you

Answer 10

welcome...fan me

Answer 11

I'm new to the site how do I do that

Answer 12

click "Become a fan" in blue beside my name

Answer 13

I'm new too so welcome

Answer 14

do you have any more questions

Answer 15

yes

Answer 16

(7,9); 2x+y=3

Answer 17

checking to see if it is a solution?

Answer 18

2(7) + 9 = 3
14+ 9 = 3 NOOOO so not a solution

Answer 19

write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line
(5,-5); 4x+3y=7

Answer 20

transform to y=mx+b by subtracting 4x from bot h sides then divide both sides by 3 to get y =

Answer 21

do that first and tell me what you get

Answer 22

ok

Answer 23

would it b 12

Answer 24

y=-4/3x + 7/3 now plug in (-5,5) and slope = -4/3 into y=mx+b and solve for b

Answer 25

(5, -5) sorry

Answer 26

-5=-4/3(5) + b

Answer 27

(5, -5) sorry

Answer 28

-5=(-4/3)(5)+b

Answer 29

-5=-20/3 +b add 20/3 so 5 which is 15/3+20/3=35/3

Answer 30

-15/3 + 20/3 = 5/3

Answer 31

b=5/3 same slope of -4/3 so y=-4/3x +5/3

Answer 32

got it

Answer 33

no

Answer 34

what is wrong

Answer 35

do you need me to put it all together in one post

Answer 36

please

Answer 37

4x+3y=7 solve for y
-4x -4x
3y=7-4x or 3y=-4x+7
----------
3
y=-4/3 x + 7/3 so slope is -4/3 parallel lines have same slope so use
m=-4/3 and (5, -5) and plug into slope-intercept form to find "b"-y intercept
y=mx+b
-5=-4/3(5)+b
-5=-20/3 + b
+20/3 +20/3
-15/3 + 20/3 = b
5/3= b
so y=-4/3x + 5/3

Answer 38

got it now?
