Question

I GIVE MEDALS!!!!!!



Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line y = −3x + 12 and passes through the point (−1, 6).

A.) y = 1/3x + 7

B.) y = −3x + 3

C.) y = 1/3x + 3

D.) y = −3x + 7

Answer 1

look at da problem close ly

Answer 2

what is the slope for the given line ? Can you find that ?

Answer 3

In y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position. Now look at your line, y = -3x + 12, can you find the slope ?

Answer 4

good job @kelliegirl33

Answer 5

I am trying to explain, but is he even paying attention ??

Answer 6

I will not explain anymore unless turtleluver says something

Answer 7

it is a girl and probley not lol

Answer 8

oh...sorry....she

Answer 9

lol

Answer 10

:) lol

Answer 11

wut u doing

Answer 12

well...when she wants to participate, she can tag me....I can see my notifications now...HOORAY

Answer 13

hey can u explain it 2 me plz?

Answer 14

why yes I can :)

do you know the slope of the line given ?

Answer 15

nope

Answer 16

In y = mx + b form, the slope is in the m position. So in y = -3x + 12, what is the slope ? What number is in the m position ?

Answer 17

do you know ?

Answer 18

ok.....I am just gonna do this one...
y = -3x + 12....the slope is -3.
A parallel line will have the same slope

y = mx + b
slope(m) = -3
(-1,6) x = -1 and y = 6
(we already know the slope, so we just need the y intercept, which is in the b position, so we have to find b.
now we sub
y = mx + b
6 = -3(-1) + b
6 = 3 + b
6 - 3 = b
3 = b
our parallel line is : y = -3x + 3

Answer 19

any questions ?

Answer 20

nope

Answer 21

good to hear :)

Answer 22

lol sorry no response i had to take care of meah dog

Answer 23

there is also another way to do this....do you want to know how ?

Answer 24

if you were asked to put this in point slope form, rather then slope intercept form, you would have to do it another way

Answer 25

um.... sure

Answer 26

lol

Answer 27

point slope form is : y - y1 = m(x - x1)
slope(m) = -3
(-1,6) x1 = -1 and y1 = 6
now we sub
y - 6 = -3(x - (-1)
y - 6 = -3(x + 1) <== this would be your point slope form answer
we can continue to slope intercept form from here
y - 6 = -3x - 3
y = -3x - 3 + 6
y = -3x + 3 <== this is your slope intercept form

Answer 28

ohhh ok thx CX

Answer 29

so if there asking for slope intercept, you can do y = mx + b, but if their asking for point slope form, you have to do y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Answer 30

kk thx

Answer 31

no problem :)
