Question

***MEDAL FOR BEST ANSWER!!***

Answer 1

Input in standard form the equation of the given line.

The line that passes through (-2, 4) and is parallel to x - 2y = 6

Answer 2

can you find slope of x-2y = 6 ?

Answer 3

oop looks like hartnn gots this one.

Answer 4

Is it -3?

Answer 5

no, isolate the 'y'
bring it in the form of
y=mx +c
then m= slope

Answer 6

x - 2y = 6
-x -x
-2y = 6-x
Is that right so far?

Answer 7

yes, now just divide by -2

Answer 8

y = -3x?

Answer 9

y = - 3+x/2
isn't it ?

Answer 10

Okay yeah I just didn't know what you do to the x when you divide by -2.

Answer 11

ok, so the slope = m = 1/2
right ?

Answer 12

Ohh yeah okay. I see that now.

Answer 13

so, parallel lines have same slope,
so for your line too, m =1/2
point =-2,4
now can you find the equation ?

Answer 14

I got x - 2y = 10?

Answer 15

correct!

Answer 16

Awesome! Thanks!

Answer 17

welcome ^_^
