Question

Identify the correct slope and y intercept of the equation 3x - 3y = 4.

slope = -1; y intercept at (0, -four thirds)

slope = 1; y intercept at (0, -four thirds)

slope = 3; y intercept at (0, -1)

slope = -3; y intercept at (0, 1)

Answer 1

you need to put it in y = mx + b form.....then m is the slope and b is the y intercept

Answer 2

That's what I get confused with lol

Answer 3

3x - 3y = 4
-3y = -3x + 4 (multiply by -1 to get 3y positive)
3y = 3x - 4
are you with me so far ?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

3y = 3x - 4 (now divide by 3)
y = 3/3x - 4/3
y = x - 4/3

so your answer is : slope 1, and y intercept (0,-4/3)

Answer 6

Thank you Kellie may you help me in another one??

Answer 7

possibly...what you got

Answer 8

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 6) and parallel to y = one halfx - 8.

y = one halfx + 7

y = one halfx + 5

y = 2x + 7

y = 2x + 5

Answer 9

if you are looking for a parallel line, the slope will be the same as the original equation. In this case, the slope is 1/2. Understand ?

Answer 10

yes

Answer 11

Now we will use y = mx + b.....m = 1/2 and we can use points (-2,6)
now lets sub...
6 = 1/2(-2) + b
can you solve for b ?

Answer 12

No .-.

Answer 13

6 = 1/2(-2) + b
6 = -1 + b
6 + 1 = b
7 = b

therefore, your parallel equation is : y = 1/2x + 7

Answer 14

Thanks (: I get it now .

Answer 15

good deal :) glad to help
