Question

Find the equation of the line that contains the point (3, 5) and is parallel to the line 2x + y = -4.

Answer 1

plug the point (3,5) into the equation 2x + y = k and solve for k
your answer will be 2x + y = whatever you came up with for k

Answer 2

ok but then what happens to the neg4

Answer 3

just forget it in this particular type of problem

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

which I get 11

Answer 6

2x+y describes the slope... -4 is the y intercept

so 2x + y = -4 is parrallel and below

2x + y = 0 which is parrallel and below

2x + y = 11

Answer 7

exactly right... good job

Answer 8

thank you
