Question

What is the equation of the line in standard form that passes through the point (3, 4) and is parallel to the line y = –x + 6?

Answer 1

what do we know about parallel lines? what do they have in common?

Answer 2

they never cross?

Answer 3

yes. so that means they have the same...?

Answer 4

slope?

Answer 5

yes :D so now we can put the information into point-slope form...what would that look like?

Answer 6

y-y1=m(x-x1)

Answer 7

i have 1 minute before i have to go lol

Answer 8

so once we put the info in, it'll be

y - 4 = -1(x - 3)

now you can distribute the -1 into the parentheses and change it into standard form

Answer 9

so x+y=7

Answer 10

yup :D good job
