Question

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation parallel to y = 7x + 2, which passes through the point (1, -3).
A. y = 7x - 10
B. y = -1/7 x + 2
C. y = 7x - 3
D. y = -7x + 10

Answer 1

what does parallel mean?

Answer 2

first off

Answer 3

that there ryte by eachother

Answer 4

hmm
not exactly

Answer 5

well i noe what it looks like iono how to put it in words

Answer 6

they are any lines together however far apart but they will never intersect each other

Answer 7

yea okay

Answer 8

their distances must be the same all the way through and never insect

Answer 9

yes inoe
:)

Answer 10

because x^2 will not intersect but it is not parallel but will not intersect

Answer 11

anyhow

Answer 12

okay:) lol

Answer 13

you have to match 2 lines

so

one must have the same distance from the other

Answer 14

yep got it

Answer 15

first of off is it a positive slope or negative

Answer 16

postive i think?

Answer 17

well of course because original equation is

y = 7x + 2

and you have to choose one that is parallel to it

Answer 18

sooo wait what?!?!?!?

Answer 19

i got confused

Answer 20

if you see a positive number for the slope
the slope is going to be positive

Answer 21

okay

Answer 22

that takes out
D
B
those are negative slopes and they will intersect correct?

Answer 23

yea because their negative slopes

Answer 24

do you know how
a positive slop and negative slope will intersect

Answer 25

or what it looks like

Answer 26

yea i do

Answer 27

k good

Answer 28

Start with y=mx+b and filll in what you know.
y=7x+b
Plug in your point to find b
-3=7(1)+b
-3=7+b
-10=b
Stick that value in.
y=7-10

Answer 29

Sorry typo. should be y=7x--10

Answer 30

okay

Answer 31

or you could do that :P

Answer 32

aha thanks so much agin :D

Answer 33

but in any case though

Answer 34

hmmm?

Answer 35

if you have a problem like this

Answer 36

first notice the slope the must have the same slope because the are parallel

Answer 37

if they do not they will intersect

Answer 38

you can try it youself

Answer 39

but ya

Answer 40

okay aha thnks again :)
