Question

Please help me

Which of the following equations is parallel to the given line? : y = -5x - 8


A.5x + y = 8


B.5x - y = 8


C.x + 5y = -8


D.-5x + y = -8

Answer 1

if it is parallel then it has the same slope.

Answer 2

however the answers are corrupted: x and y are on the same side!

Answer 3

5x + y = 8

do you know how to fix this function ?

Answer 4

@phanta_seea no I dont know how to

Answer 5

you can move variables to the other sides if you change the sign:

5 x + y = +8
y = -5x +8

Answer 6

the 5x was moved to the other side and changed sign.
can you see?

Answer 7

o ok so it A.

Answer 8

yep :)

Answer 9

thnak you

Answer 10

@phanta_seea can you help me with one more?

Which of the following equations is parallel to the given line? : 2x - 3y = 4 


y = -2/3x + 4/3


y = -2x + 3


y = 3x - 2


y = 2/3x + 5

Answer 11

ok, this time the line they have given is "corrupted"

Answer 12

2 steps are necessary to get a proper function.
the first one is similar to before - can you guess?

2x - 3y = 4

Answer 13

ok watch and enjoy!!

1) y and x are on the same side, this shouldnt be!

2x -3y = 4 ....move -3y because we want y positive:
2x = 4 + 3y (sign of 3y has changed)

2) move 4 over to the other side:
2x = 4 + 3y
2x - 4 = 3y (notice how 4 sign has changed when switching sides!).

3) divide every term by 3:

2/3 x - 4/3 = y (note: divide every term! x term, coefficient and y)

Answer 14

ok I got D. which is the last answer @phanta_seea

Answer 15

its D

Answer 16

Thank you again @phanta_seea
