Question

Write the equation of the line parallel to x= -16 and passes through the point (9,-10)

Answer 1

Hint: Write the equation of the line in point-slope form, y=m(x-x1)+y1
where m is the gradient and (x1,y1) is a point through which the line passes.

Answer 2

Hint 2: The gradients of parallel lines are equal.
Hint 3: The gradient of line x=-16 is "undefined"

Answer 3

Am I making sense @brianhai97?

Answer 4

lmao man she is probably in algebra 1. why would you put it in terms of the gradient? a calculus 3 topic...hahahahahaha

Answer 5

Heheh, my bad =) I was expecting her to respond, then I'd explain using simpler terms. Silence doesn't help that much. lol

Answer 6

draw a diagram



hopefulyl its obvious now
