Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y = x + 8; (2, 16)

A. y = x

B. y = x + 6

C. y = x – 6

D. y = x + 6

Answer 1

what's the slope of " y = x + 8 "?

Answer 2

parallel lines share the same slope
perpendicular lines' slopes are negative reciprocals of each other

memorize that

Answer 3

y = x + 8
slope is 1

y - y1 = m(x - x1) using slope 1 and points (2,16)
y - 16 = 1(x - 2)
y - 16 = x - 2
y = x - 2 + 16
y = x + 14

Did you write the problem correctly ?

Answer 4

i guess not still having problems understanding the problem :(
