Question

Write an equation of the line given the following conditions: // to x-3y=-12 & passes through the point (6,5)

Answer 1

// parallel mean same slope so same m
first put it in normal style: x+12=3y => y=x/3+4 so the slope must be 1/3
now we have an equation of the form: y=x/3+q
fill now with x-y coordinates of the point: 5=6/3+q => q=3 !!
finally you have y=x/3+3 !! tadaaaa XD

Answer 2

I don't understand @ all

Answer 3

so, parallel mean that the equation have the same slope right?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

so you only need to know what is the other number, the q of the y=mx+q equation

Answer 6

right?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

nice, you have the m and the point sonstitute them in the y=mx+q equation and resolve! You'll get the q

Answer 9

*sostitute

Answer 10

I understand now thanks

Answer 11

;) you're welcome!
