Question

Write an equation of the line containing the given point an parallel to the given line.
(7,-6); 7x-9y=4
The equation of the the line is Y=

Answer 1

7x-9y=4 => slope = 7/9
the equation of the line will be
y=mx+b
-6=(7/9)*7+b
and then solve for b

Answer 2

im still confuse with this..

Answer 3

which step?

Answer 4

the line is parallel to the given line, so it has the same slope

Answer 5

how would i write the equation for Y=

Answer 6

hi, first before we get the parallel line equation,:
from this equation
7x-9y=4 what is y=?

Answer 7

y= 7/9x-4/9

Answer 8

ok good with this line y= 7/9x-4/9 what is your slope m=?

Answer 9

hmm seems like you dont like an interaction question and answer,,... :D

ok after getting the slope of this line y= 7/9x-4/9 , also get the slope of parallel to this

line then form an equation of line from the point (7,-6) with that slope of parallel line..
..

Answer 10

@ MauriceLong
did you get it ?

Answer 11

the slope is 4

Answer 12

ok

Answer 13

can u help me solve this problem please

Answer 14

im sorry the slope of parallel line is the same m1=m2 so you can form another line

using this slope m1, using the point(7,-6) and the formula y1-y=m(x-x1)

Answer 15

ok. i am getting a better understanding on this so far.

Answer 16

from
y= mx + b
y= 7/9x - 4/9 what is the slope m?

Answer 17

yesss just answer what i ask you and you will get it ... :D

Answer 18

try to compare the formula to the one you answered on y=7/9 x -4/9

Answer 19

would i have too subtract 7/9-4/9

Answer 20

by comparing the formula
from
y= mx + b
y= 7/9x - 4/9 what is the slope m? we know that b=4/9, what is slope m?

Answer 21

no you cant subtract because 7/9 x has an x with it and the 4/9 has no x.. so they are different terms

Answer 22

ok

Answer 23

if it would be 7/9x - 4/9 x then its ok to subtract but this time they are not.. :D
go ahead you can ask me more question what do you want to know
