Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (6, -2) and parallel to y = x + 7.

Answer 1

y = x + 8

y = x - 4

y = x + 4

y = x - 8

Answer 2

the line parallel to y=x+7 has an equation y=x+k where k is some constant...
now put x=6 and y=-2 and find k..

Answer 3

slope of y=x+7 is 1
so the line passing throw (6,-2) is parallel to y=x+7 so ,slopes are equal m1=m2
now equation of a line passing through (6,-2) and slope 1 is
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
y+2=1(x-6)
x-y-8=0

Answer 4

I don't under stand

Answer 5

so answer is y=x-8

Answer 6

yeah but I don't get how you did it

Answer 7

parallel lines have same slope....right?@lexi123479

Answer 8

as the line y=x+7 and the line we have to find are parallel they have same slopes

Answer 9

so find the slope of y=x+7

Answer 10

hence it is the slope of the line we have to find

Answer 11

so we got the slope and point is given with point slope form find the equation

Answer 12

did you get it
