Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Ok, so the slope is -2

Answer 3

2x+1y=14? Just guessing!

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

Yes the slope is -2

Answer 6

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

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

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

Answer 9

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

Answer 10

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

Answer 11

How did you reorder it?

Answer 12

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

Answer 13

Ohh I see thank you

Answer 14

You're welcome(:
