Question

The New Line. HELP

Answer 1

A line has the same slope as the line represented by 4x - 3y +15 =0 and the same y-intercept as the line represented by 2x + y +6=0

Answer 2

Determine the equation of this line.

Answer 3

1. First determine the slope of your existing line by placing in y=mx+b form and getting m
2. Determine the y-0int of the other line by placing in y=mx+b form and taking the b value

Answer 4

The slope of the first equation:
3y=4x+15
y=(4/3)x+5

slpe is 4/3

Intercept of the second equation:
y=-2x-6

intercept is -6

So the final equation is y=(4/3)x-6

Answer 5

why did it turn from a 15 to a 5?

Answer 6

divide 15 by the coefficient of y, which is 3

Answer 7

why is the 4x not turned to a -4x but for the 2x it was turned to a -2x?

Answer 8

because when you isolate y in 4x - 3y +15 =0
you would subtract 15 and 4x on both sides then divide by -3
-3y=-4x-15
y=4/3x+5

Answer 9

same thing for the second equation
