Question

Passes through (3, 2) and is parallel to 8x – 2y = 4.
I need the point-slope form and slope intercept form

Answer 1

@texaschic101

Answer 2

First find the slope on the equation 8x - 2y = 4 ??

Answer 3

so y2-y1/x2-x1?

Answer 4

Answer 5

no, you use the equation y = mx + b, which m=slope
so you have 8x - 2y = 4, isolate the y
-2y = -8x + 4
y = 4x + 4 , now the 4 is the m which is the slope

Answer 7

now that you know the slope, to be parallel needs to have the same slope
so you use the formula again to find b, substitute m = 4, (x,y) for the points (3,2)

Answer 8

wait so the slope is y=4x+4?

Answer 9

to find b, y=mx+b
2 = 4(3) + b, so b = 2-12 = -10
so the equation would be y = 4x -12

Answer 10

sorry, I meant y = 4x -10

Answer 11

going fast, slow down, y=4x-10?

Answer 12

just let me know what part you got lost

Answer 13

the slope =4 or 4x+4

Answer 14

@ivettef365

Answer 15

the slope = 4

Answer 16

y = a point, x = a point an m = slope, b = y-int
y = mx + b

Answer 17

slope intercept form is y=mx+b?

Answer 18

correct

Answer 19

that is the formula, where (x,y), could be any points,

Answer 20

so my slope intercept form equation would be y=4x-10

Answer 21

@ivettef365

Answer 22

and point slope form is y-y1=m(x-x1) correct?

Answer 23

yes, that is the slope intercept form

Answer 24

that is correct

Answer 25

so 4-2=4(x-3)?

Answer 26

@ivettef365

Answer 27

2=4x-12
y=2x-6
is that my point slope equation? @ivettef365

Answer 28

that would be y -2 = 4(x-3)

Answer 29

got it thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
