Which equation has a graph parallel to the graph of 9x + 3y = –22

parallel lines have the same slop :) so first we have to put the equation in slope intercept form :) Do you know how to do that ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorta
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3y=-9x-22
y=-3x-(22/3)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so all i had to do was isolate the y?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Now, you know that if a line is gonna be parallel to the equation, it will have the same slope :)

WAIT! the problem isnt finished ! LOL
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im sorry x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and the slope is 3 right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lollll its okay :P Soo...like i was saying...parallell lines have the same slope :) so whats the slop going to be ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
NEGATIVE 3 :)

sorry -3 :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its fine :) okay so does it give you point ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah :) thanks
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nooo lol i mean point like x and y like (x,y) because you need points to solve lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry im confusing >.<

to find the points dont i replace x with 0 to get y and replace y with 0 to get x
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay try that but usually problems like that come with points lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this one didnt x)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you for stating the obvious ;) LOL
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lol i got y=-7.3 and x=-2.4

okay so now you use point slope form which is y-y1=m(x-x1) sounds familiar ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so now just plug everything in :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y+7.3=-3(x+2.4)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
good now make it slope intercept form :)
y+7.3 = -3x -7.2
y=-3x -14.5 :)
