Question

which graph below represents a line parallel to the graph of the equation5x+2=1

Answer 1

\(5x+2=1\) missing a y?

Answer 2

i mean plus 2y

Answer 3

\(5x+2y=1\) OK

Know how to get that into slope-intercept form?

Answer 4

y=-2.5x + 1/2

Answer 5

Parallel lines have the same slope. So if you get it into slope-intercept, \(y=mx+b\) then anything that has the same slope, or \(m\), is parallel (or the same line!)

Answer 6

So I would leave the slope in \(-\cfrac{5}{2}\) form just because it makes it easier to see the \(\cfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\).

Answer 7

i got d but im not sure

Answer 8

Now, your slope is negative. That means the left is higher than the right. So b or d... lemme look... I had not even looked at those... over 2, down 5... yep. d.

Answer 9

So that is it. That is all you need to do to answer that type, and you got it right!
