Question

Write the equation in slope intercept form of the line that is parallel to y=-3x+5 and contains (2,-3)?

Answer 1

i WILL GIVE ANYONE A MEDAL WHO HELPS ME WITH THIS QUESTION

Answer 2

First of all, if it is parallel to y = -3x + 5, then it has the same slope.

Answer 3

So, we have y = -3 x + b, and it goes through the point (2, -3) so we plug the x and y values into to the equation to find b.

Answer 4

-3 = -3 * 2 + b
-3 = -6 + b ( add 6 to both sides)
b = 3

so the equation is y = -3x + 3

Answer 5

thankyou, can you answer another question similar to the one you just answered?

Answer 6

sure

Answer 7

ok thanks!

Answer 8

Write the equation in slope intercept form for the line that contains (-4,-2) and is perpendicular to the line y=1/4x-7

Answer 9

If the line is perpendicular, the the slope is equal to the negative reciprocal of the line you have. y = 1/4 x - 7

In other words the slope for the line you are looking for is -4

y = -4 x + b

The rest is the same, plug in the x and y values from your point and solve for b.

Answer 10

Think you can handle it from there?

Answer 11

is the Answer y= -4x-8 ?

Answer 12

?

Answer 13

u wanna help me please? i have a test tommorrow?

Answer 14

it's y = -4 x + 14

Can you show me how you got b = -8, I might be able to figure out where you're mistake was
