What is the slope of a line parallel to the line with equation 5x – 2y = 11?

Question

♪chibiterasu · Answer

Well since both lines will have the same slope, all you have to do is convert his into slope intercept and the slop of this line will be the slope of the line parallel to it. Do you know what slop intercept form looks like?

solomonzelman · Answer

Subtract 5x from both sides and divide both sides by '-2'.
What is the slope? Parallel lines always have the same slope.

♪chibiterasu · Answer

Well, slope intercept form is:

y = mx + b

m is the slope so whatever is plugged into m will be your answer.

And yeah, thanks >_>

anonymous · Answer

A. -11/2
B. -5/2
C. -2/5
D. 5/2

♪chibiterasu · Answer

Well, lets subtract 5x from both sides:

5x - 5x – 2y = 11 - 5x

-2y = 11 - 5x

Now we just divide -2 on both sides:

-2y/-2 = -11/2 - 5x

y = -11/2 - 5x

We know that m is the slope so -11/2 is our answer.

Which of the following has a slope of –3 and a y-intercept of –4?

anonymous · Answer

y = –3x + 4
       y = 3x + 4
       y = 3x – 4
       y = –3x – 4

♪chibiterasu · Answer

Well, y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

♪chibiterasu · Answer

So I think you can do this on your own knowing m and b :3

anonymous · Answer

b is the asnwer?

♪chibiterasu · Answer

Um, noooo  . ..

♪chibiterasu · Answer

Oh thats what you emant

solomonzelman · Answer

y = 3x + 4   compare to y=mx+b

anonymous · Answer

cause i thought it was C?

♪chibiterasu · Answer

No, try again

♪chibiterasu · Answer

Both the slope and y-intercept are negative o:

solomonzelman · Answer

m is the slope
b is the y-intercept

y=mx+b

♪chibiterasu · Answer

Yes, I mentioned that like 5 times already.

solomonzelman · Answer

–3   is the slope.
-4   is the  y-intercept.

anonymous · Answer

oh im sorry  was looking at the wronmg one its D

solomonzelman · Answer

Yup!

♪chibiterasu · Answer

Hey, thanks blurting the answer when I wanted her to do it on her own ;-;

♪chibiterasu · Answer

But yes its D :c

Did I say the answer?

Which ordered pair is on the graph of the equation 4x + 3y = 13?

anonymous · Answer

(1, 6)
       (1, –3)
       (0, –3)
       (4, –1)

solomonzelman · Answer

Put the  '4x + 3y = 13'   into slope intercept form.  Can you do that?

solomonzelman · Answer

Actually just plug in points to see which fits and which doesn't.
