Question

Check my answer..?

Write an equation of the line passing through the point (-4,2) and is parallel to y= -x+6

I got: y= -x+6; is it correct?

Answer 1

Parallel line slopes are equal

Answer 2

yeah i know

Answer 3

u got same equation as given ?

Answer 4

whoa.. i just realized that.. umm here hold on..

Answer 5

no you would put y = -x +7

Answer 6

Maybe y=-x-2 ?

Answer 7

i had to use this equation: y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 8

start with y=-x+c
put the point (-4,2) there, and find c

Answer 9

oh, so u have m, right ? which is ?

Answer 10

m=-1

Answer 11

i think..?

Answer 12

yes, because lines are parallel

Answer 13

and (x1,y1) = ?

Answer 14

(-4,2)

Answer 15

so it would be:

y-2=-1(x-(-4)) right?

Answer 16

so now just put the values in y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 17

yes, that is correct

Answer 18

now simplify

Answer 19

ohk so then i would distribute?

y-2=-1x+4 ?

Answer 20

u missed the brackets...

Answer 21

no cuz i multiplied (x-(-4)) by -1

Answer 22

so u get -1(x+4) = -x-4

Answer 23

-(-4) = +4

Answer 24

ohh ohk so the answer would be y=-x+-2 or y=-x-2 ?

Answer 25

oh nvm

Answer 26

yeah thats correct

Answer 27

y=-x-2

Answer 28

just keep the slope the same change the y intercepter

Answer 29

ohk thank you(:

Answer 30

welcome ^_^
