Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -6) and is parallel to y = -one halfx + 5.
y = -2x + 2
y = 2x - 14
y = one halfx - 8
y = -one halfx - 4


Choose the equation of the vertical line that passes through the point (4, -3).
y = 4
x = - 3
y = -3
x = 4

Answer 1

x = - 3

Answer 2

and the other ?

Answer 3

the line passes through x = 4 and infinite values of y....

Answer 4

so which answer choice is it ??

Answer 5

well x has a value and y can be anything so should we have x or y in the equation?

Answer 6

i have no clue

Answer 7

@cwrw238

Answer 8

its x = 4

Answer 9

everywhere along that line x = 4
y isn't included because it can be any value

Answer 10

okay i see now but i thought we were doing the first one. im soo confused. im off for an hour plese explain the first one to me so i can give u best responce when i get back on.

Answer 11

the slope of the first line = -1/2 sand passes through (4,-6)

use the general form

y-y1 = m(x-x1)

m = -1/2, x1= 4 and y1 = -6
so plug in these values

y -(-6) = =(-1/2)(x - 4) = (-1/2)x + 2

y = (-1/2)x + 8
