Question

write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line whose y-intercept is 4 and the line is parallel line whose equation is 6+2y=5 what is the slope intercept form?

i need step by step help please

Answer 1

are you sure the matching equation is 6+2y=5?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

sorry 6x+2y=5

Answer 4

and y intercept is 4

Answer 5

thats much better
Okay so first you want to put it into slope intercept form which is y=mx+b

Answer 6

okay so 2y=-6x+5 correct?

Answer 7

start by subtracting 6x from both sides as it is a positive value which gives you

Answer 8

2y=5-6x or 2y=-6x+5
then you divide both sides by 2 to isolate the y
y=(-6x+5)/2
or
y=-3x+(5/2)

Answer 9

then i would get y=-3x+4 correct?

Answer 10

becuse of the y intercept?

Answer 11

correct because b is your 7 intercept and a parallel line has the same slope

Answer 12

y intercept not 7

Answer 13

your slope is m or (-3)

Answer 14

thank you

Answer 15

no problem
