Question

help..I don't understand how to do this algebra problem.

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

Answer 1

Plug the values in that equation and check if u are the answer 3 or not.

Answer 2

Hi Saifoo..hang on a sec..

Answer 3

Hey Island girl. sure.

Answer 4

write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. Express your answer in the form of y=mx+b...sorry, i should have put what it was calling for...

Answer 5

the equation of the line y=_______

Answer 6

Alright, for that u have find the slope for the first line.
coz when it says parallel, it means that u are dealing with lines of the same slope.

so the slope of the first lines =
x+2y=3
y = -1/2 x + 3

slope = -1/2

now use this to find the equation of the line with the points given

(5, 9)
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - 9 = -1/2 (x - 5)

Answer 7

try solving..

Answer 8

i am trying..when i tried doing problem i got as far as the slope, after i got lost and how they determined to come up with the final answer...

Answer 9

now use this to find the equation of the line with the points given

(5, 9)
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - 9 = -1/2 (x - 5)

y - 9 = -0.5x + 2.5

y = -0.5x + 2.5 + 9
y = -0.5x + 10.5

Answer 10

Do u want the answer in fraction?

Answer 11

yes,it says to use integers or fractions for any numbers in the expression...but also want to know exactly how to come about the final answer..

Answer 12

i confused..

Answer 13

i showed u step by step.

Answer 14

where are u confused?

Answer 15

that last part
(5, 9)
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
y - 9 = -1/2 (x - 5)

y - 9 = -0.5x + 2.5

y = -0.5x + 2.5 + 9
y = -0.5x + 10.5

i don't know how to answer this to come up with the equation of the line y=__

Answer 16

there is a formula to find the equation,
y - y1 = m (x - x1)
in that we just have to write the cordinates and the slope.

Answer 17

oh ok..can you show me how to do that>? I have 3 more word problems like this, and with this help you give me here, i can figure my last 3 with this example

Answer 18

i showed u already, i inserted the cordinates on their places. and the slope on it's place.

Answer 19

try reading the whole thing again..

Answer 20

i will..thanks again Saifoo.

Answer 21

No problem.
i can help u again if u are stuck.

Answer 22

i am trying to figure in on paper with this.. thanks

Answer 23

Cool.

Answer 24

y=-1/2x+23/2

Answer 25

correct. =D

Answer 26

yay, thank you..wish i could give you another medal :(

Answer 27

you welcome.

Answer 28

=)

Answer 29

Later may be.

Answer 30
