Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to 4x + y = -1?

Answer 1

Do you know how to take derivatives?

Answer 2

u think if she is asking for th slope of y=mx+b SHE WOU KNOW DERIVATIVES ahhaha
thts a good one

Answer 3

I am thinking of this it's parallel to the equation

Answer 4

Yeah no I dont even know what a derative is actually.

Answer 5

this is all you donirv

Answer 6

Right i need the number though, and idk how to do it.

Answer 7

make sence but if she knows derivatives she would hve problem with an equation in finding the slove of y=mx + b
and i see ur point anyways lets help her IN THE EASY WAY * i dont mean derivatives way even thou is the faster way to do it*

Answer 8

It gives me that equation, then wants numbers as the answer. Or rather one number.

Answer 9

ok then u know the meaning of the word parallel right..
tht means tht 2 lines wou hve the sameeeeee....
wht??

Answer 10

Yeah. I know that.

Answer 11

same slope right..!!
so lets find the slope of this equation then
4x + y = -1?
lets leave Y alone to change it in the standard form
y= -4x -1
y= mx+b
m is slove in this case -4 wou be the slove of our parallel line

Answer 12

do u understand?

Answer 13

So I find the slope of the equation, and its that number?

Answer 14

yes cuz the word parallel means tht they hve the same slove like this..
