Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. y = x + 8; (2, 16)

A. y = x – 6

B. y = x + 6

C. y = x

D. y = x + 14

Answer 1

can you find the slope of given line
y=x+8 ?

Answer 2

how ?

Answer 3

Do u know if we want one line can parallel to how is that m should be ?:)

Answer 4

It's in the form of y = mx + b, where m or slope is equal to the coefficient of x. So what's the slope then?

Answer 5

ohh let me calculate

Answer 6

If u want one line parallel to anothre they thier m should be :
m=m'
Just this :)

Answer 7

lol i still didnt get :P

Answer 8

slope is oftenly just the coefficient of x.

Answer 9

is it A

Answer 10

Are you sure?

Answer 11

and if u want that passes through use it :
y-y2=m(X-X2)
X2=2
y2=16
OK ?!:)

Answer 12

@Yacoub1993:???

Answer 13

i think you already now the slope now @yacoub1993
just be reminded that it passes through a pt (2,16) so you can formulate the equation using two-slope form which is:
y - y1 = m (x - x1) where y1 = 16 and x1 = 2
So, can you decide which one is the answer now?

Answer 14

slope of the given line y=x+8 is 1.As it is parallel so the slope of equation which we have to find will also be 1.then by problem,
(y-y1)=slope(x-x1)
(y-16)=1.(x-2)
y-x=-2+16
y-x=14

Answer 15

so ans is D.
