Write the equation in standard form of the line that is parallel to -6x-3y=-2 and contains (8,-2)

Question

anonymous · Answer

A parallel line has the same slope, a perpendicular line has a negative inverse for the slope.

mathhelp346 · Answer

Ok, so the slope is -2

anonymous · Answer

2x+1y=14? Just guessing!

anonymous · Answer

Solve for y to determine what the slope of this equation is.

mathhelp346 · Answer

Yes the slope is -2

anonymous · Answer

Sorry, I'm a bit slow today. Yes, you are correct.

anonymous · Answer

Use the point-slope formula to write the new equation.

mathhelp346 · Answer

y=-2x+2/3
Mia how did you get that? I graphed it and it was correct

anonymous · Answer

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$

anonymous · Answer

Well you said it had to be in standard form so I just reorded it to fit standard form (Ax+By=C).

mathhelp346 · Answer

How did you reorder it?

anonymous · Answer

Well I got y=-2x+14. Move the -2x by adding it to both sides getting 2x+y=14.(:
