This one,,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1<2<3<4<5 that is how you count

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@terenzreignz

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

That one.

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Okay, B-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@FriedRice , me and @terenzreignz were just continuing our discussion

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i think its that one

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Although, feel free to jump in, the question is Find the equation of the line parallel to 2x + 3y = 6 and passing through the intersection of x = 0 and 3x + 2y - 6 = 0

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

As usual, what we need to get our mystery line is a slope and a point through it which it passes. Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think so...

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Well, Derek Earl... (LOL) What is the slope of the line 2x + 3y = 6 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the y intercept is 3

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

doesn't matter, we only need the slope :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

si i'm gonna use the slope point again,,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

*so

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

So, the slope of this line is -2/3 And our mystery line is parallel to this line. What does that tell you about the slope of the mystery line?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the slope of the mystery line si congruent to the slope,??

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Yes. More like equal (not congruent) but close enough :P so the slope of the mystery line is -2/3 Now all we need is a point where this line goes through... any suggestions?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was going to say equal but i like the term congruent more, xDDD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats the point (0,3)

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Very good :) Now just find the equation, and head on home :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

xD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5/3

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

dafuq is 5/3? :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nothing, xDDDDD

terenzreignz (terenzreignz):

Seriously? -.-
