Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-3, 1) and parallel to y = -x - 4.

y = x + 2

y = -x - 2

y = -x + 4

y = x - 4

My answer is y = x - 4
Am I right? :)

Answer 1

yes that should be correct good job

Answer 2

Thank you so much! :)

Answer 3

I like your username too, lol :)

Answer 4

i take that back it's not
here's the formula y =mx+b is slope-intercept form...m is slope

Answer 5

and the rule is that if lines r parallel they have the same slope....so

Answer 6

Is it y = -x - 2 then?

Answer 7

so u where right sorry for confusing u i just was checking

Answer 8

lol

Answer 9

aw man i messed up again it's the same slope as the first equation

Answer 10

Lol... So which one is it? y = x - 4 or y = -x - 2

Answer 11

so witch is the last unit is b=y-intercept.....so what is the y-intercept....then that will be the answer....sorry i can't tell u.....but i can confirm after you pick one

Answer 12

y = x - 4?

Answer 13

That makes more sense, thank you so much for taking your time to help me! :)

Answer 14

aw man i'm so sorry i did it again it's y = -x - 2

Answer 15

lol... Are you messing with me?

Answer 16

it's that cause the slope stays the same and if u construct it correctly it will decline and when it declines it passes through the negative 2

Answer 17

so y=mx+b
so m=slope=the same as the original=-1or in this case=-x
and b=y-intercept= which means it's where the line passes through the y-axis so b=-2......so sorry for being confusing

Answer 18

@hunterhoff

Answer 19

So the answer is y = -x - 2?

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

Its fine! :) Im no more confused than you... lol

Answer 22

Thanks angain! :)
