Question

Can anybody help me with this?

Answer 1

did you put the equation given into y = mx + b yet?

Answer 2

like this 4y = -3x -2?

Answer 3

you still have that 4 in front of the y. what do you think you need to do to get rid of it?

Answer 4

hmm divide by 4?

Answer 5

yes! now what do you have :)

Answer 6

y = -3/4x - 2/4 like this?

Answer 7

-2/4 = what ?

Answer 8

so do you know which one is your slope ?

Answer 9

nvm...the -2/4 doesn't even matter

Answer 10

is it correct? What I wrote? the slope is -3/4 right?

Answer 11

correct

Answer 12

and since your looking for a parallel line...the slope will be the same

Answer 13

Now use y = mx + b
m = -3/4
y = 6
x = -4
now sub your info in and solve for b

Answer 14

b is your y intercept

Answer 15

do you understand ?

Answer 16

hold on let me check

Answer 17

does b equal 3?

Answer 18

y = mx + b
6 = -3/4(-4) + b
6 = 12/4 + b
6 - 12/4 = b
24/4 - 12/4 = b
12/4 = b
3 = b
no it is not 2.

so your equation is : y = -3/4x + 3

Answer 19

yes it is 3

Answer 20

THANKS A LOT:)
