Question

PLEASE HELP!!
write an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through (0,6) and is parallel to the line given by y=2x+3 .

Answer 1

first sorry for my spelling

Answer 2

general linear equation
y=mx+c
m=gradient c=y-intercept

perpendicular tells us that we have to use this formula
m1 x m2 = -1
m1=gradient of equation given m1=2
m2=gradient of unknown equation we want to find

2 x m2 = -1
m2=-1/2

now substitute (4,6) and gradient m=-1/2 into the general equation y=mx+c
to find the c value and then re-write the whole equation.

Answer 3

are we looking for a prendicular line or parrallel

Answer 4

perpendicular line, and this helps us figure out the unknown equation perpendicular to the one given.

Answer 5

if it is parrarllel then the slope is the same
but prependicular you would use the negative recipcoral

Answer 6

yes that is correct.

Answer 7

in the equation he says that is is parralel to y=2x+3 so why did you solve for the prendicular form
you could have used

y-y1=m(x-xx1)
you already have the slope which is 2

Answer 8

then wouldnt you plug in the points you have and then slove

Answer 9

0,6
y-6=2(x-0)
y-6=2x
y=2x+6

Answer 10

used my graphing calc and they were both parralel in a diganol way

Answer 11

medal if right

Answer 12

did yiu have any questions

Answer 13

no thanks

Answer 14

okay
