Question

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line x + 4y = 6 and passes through (-8, 5).

Answer 1

put the equation they give you into slope intercept. y= 1/4x+6/4
thats just a line going diagonal, so you make another equation with the same slope which is 1/4
remember y=mx+b
and you find the point (-8,5) on a graph and you draw a line from there with a slope of 1/4. and there you go.
b= the point of y when x=0
m= slope

Answer 2

that confused me .

Answer 3

for your line,

x + 4y = 6

what is the slope?

Answer 4

need help?

Answer 5

idk

Answer 6

yes i do

Answer 7

ok, we need to solve for y to get your equation in slope intercept form:

Answer 8

ok
