Find the equation of the line that contains the point (27,-11) and is parallel to the line 2x+9y=18. Write your answer in slope intercept form. HOW DO YOU DO THIS!!!!
yay!!!
find the slope of the line and flip it over spank its bottom throw it down and but a negative to it
haha first find slope of line 2x+9y =18 get y by itself
-a/b is the slope of yer line ;)
hold up amistre thats for perpendicular lines, this is a parallel line
ack!! they need different words for those things; those are too similar lol
in that case; erase the 18, fill in yer x and y and solve; then git rid of the x and y values
2x+9y=18 ; chuck the 18...its useless to us 2x+9y= ; now fill in your (x=27,y=-11) and solve 2(27)+9(-11)=
54 -99 = -45 2x+9y=-45
now put it in slope-intercept form by moving 2x over and dividing by 9 9y = -2x -45 y = (-2/9)x -5 that is the equation of the line going through point (27,-11) and parallel to given line
thank you everyone, i really appreciate, will have a few more questions later on 2nite. Calc final is tomorrow @ 9am
