Question

10. 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 1

Solve the given equation x-2y=6 for y and can u tell me what u get?

Answer 2

yes -3

Answer 3

Nope.:( what we want to do is to solve for y right? To do that we have to isolate y in thr given equation.In the given equation x has been added to x. so let us subtract x from -2y to remove it. since given one is an equation we need to do the same to the other side.
so this gives
x-2y-x=6-x
-2y=6-x
We are concerned about only y. so to get it we hav to divide it by -2 . since it has been multiplied by -2. we hav to do the same thing to the other side since this is an equation.
so
-2y/-2=(-x+6)/-2
y=x/2+3
compare this equation with y=mx+c and tell me the values of m and c

Answer 4

we are nt yet done.:(

Answer 5

i got x-2y=-10 ty!!

Answer 6

perfect:)
