Question

Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 6) and parallel to y = x - 8.

y = x + 7

y = x + 5

y = 2x + 7

y = 2x + 5
help please ?

Answer 1

slope wiill be 1.
so by formula,
(y-y1)=m(x-x1)
(y-6)=1.(x-(-2))
nowsolve it

Answer 2

have u rwritten the ques and options correctly?

Answer 3

yes
is it the 3rd one ?

Answer 4

my ans is comin y=x+8

Answer 5

thats weird thats not one of the options maybe were doing something wrong ???

Answer 6

given eqn is y=x-8
so slope will me 1.
and,slope of reuired line will be also 1 bcon it is paralled.
and the given point is (-2,6)
now jst we have to put it in the formula....dios is the process

Answer 7

oh lol so how would we put it in the formula?

Answer 8

(y-y1)=slope(x-x1)
x1 and yi are the given point`

Answer 9

so than wouldn't it be the last one ?

Answer 10

@madrockz

Answer 11

no...

Answer 12

well than which one would it be ?

Answer 13

the 2nd on ?

Answer 14

omg i just noticed something I'm such an idiot lmao the correct question and answer are Choose the equation of the line passing through the point (-2, 6) and parallel to y =1/2 x - 8.

y = 1/2x + 7

y = 1/2x + 5

y = 2x + 7

y = 2x + 5
@madrockz

Answer 15

see i told u to check it once ur ques.my procwess is right.

Answer 16

lol i know I'm sorry

Answer 17

so now which one do you think it is ?

Answer 18

its ok...:-)

Answer 19

:)

Answer 20

i told u the process u try it i will guide u

Answer 21

ok now tell me wat will be the slope of required line

Answer 22

so nothing changed in the process now that the numbers changes ?

Answer 23

um idk 1 ??

Answer 24

sorry I'm not good at algebra

Answer 25

the coefficient of x is always the slope.
y=mx+c
where m is the slope of line.do u know dis?

Answer 26

yess

Answer 27

ok so look at the equation and tell me the slope now.

Answer 28

wait is the slope a number or a letter ? sorry I'm not the best at this

Answer 29

no.is the slope...the no. astuck wid x is the slpe now tell me

Answer 30

1/2 is that it ?

Answer 31

yes very good.it is the slpe.

Answer 32

yay lol so what now ?

Answer 33

now the equation to find out when a point and a slopw is give....is represented by
(y-y1)=m(x-x1) where m is the slpoe and wt is the given poin t tell me

Answer 34

is the given point 8 ??

Answer 35

no..the given point is (-2,6).isnt it?have a look at the ques

Answer 36

yes it is my bad lol

Answer 37

-2 is x1 and 6 is y1
now put it in theequation which i told u

Answer 38

(Y-6y)= 1/2(x-(-2x)) is that good?

Answer 39

it is a good....bt u have to omit x and y u only have to write the no.s ok.now remove the x and

Answer 40

ok let me tell u
(y-6)=1/2(x-(-2))
ok??

Answer 41

6y=1/2(x-(-2))

Answer 42

oh yess

Answer 43

u got it?sure?

Answer 44

bess thank you so much for everything

Answer 45

ok then now we have to simplify it

Answer 46

can u try it once?

Answer 47

so would the answer be the 1st answer or no ?

Answer 48

u have to simplify it then u will get the ans

Answer 49

2(y-6)=1.(x+2)
do u agree?
dis step?

Answer 50

see i will help u..u jst have to have the will to learn

Answer 51

yes i agree so we solve it from there right ?

Answer 52

yes multiply the bracket wid 2...can u do it nd show me?

Answer 53

i got 12
when i multiplied the bracket with 2 is that right

Answer 54

so would it be (12y) =1.(x+2 ?

Answer 55

when u multiply u will get 2y-12 ok

Answer 56

okay

Answer 57

do we do the something for the 1.(x+2)

Answer 58

see when u multiply 2 wid y u get 2y and when u multiply 2 wid 6 u get 12

Answer 59

yess i see

Answer 60

yes the eqn will v now,
2y-12=x+2
2y-x=2+12

Answer 61

now can tu tell me wt will be the ans

Answer 62

first solve it completely add 2 and 12

Answer 63

show me wt u got finally

Answer 64

okay so 2y - x = 14

Answer 65

yes very good

Answer 66

now we have to bring dis eqn in form of option

Answer 67

How would we do that ?

Answer 68

take the x to the left side.can u do it?

Answer 69

so like x=2y +14 or in a different way?

Answer 70

no...not in dis way
see eqn was 2y-x=14
then 2y=x+14
y=x/2+7
now chck it ans

Answer 71

so its the first one ?

Answer 72

yes first one

Answer 73

thanks you

Answer 74

welcome!!!
