Question

Input the equation for the following line. Reduce all fractional answers to lowest terms.

A line that passes midway between and is parallel to both x - y = 6 and x - y = -6.

Answer 1

y = x ?

Answer 2

I agree

Answer 3

no it says that wrong

Answer 4

we are looking for a line of the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercepts

Answer 5

ok i'll graph it

Answer 6

you can rearrange the given lines so that they are of the same form

Answer 7

yep - its correct

Answer 8

one passes thru y = 6 and other thru y = -6
0 is at the center

Answer 9

the two lines are y=x+6 and y=x-6, so we know the slope of the line we are seeking must be the same as these two because it is given that they are parrallel. (parallel means the same slope).

Answer 10

so the slope of te line we seek is 1

Answer 11

right

Answer 12

i'm afraid your given answer is wrong mih

Answer 13

the two lines we are given are both 6 units away from y=0 at x=0 so that means that at x=0 the midpoint between the lines is (0,0)

Answer 14

so our line is y=1x+0 or simply y=x

Answer 15

yep
