Question

Write an equation of the line with a y-intercept of -4 that is parallel to 6x-2y=13

Answer 1

convert to slope-intercept form
Then write the same slope and the y-intercept.
Find b.
Done.

Answer 2

How do I do that?

Answer 3

Do you know what slope-intercept form looks like?

Answer 4

No I don't, can you please show me

Answer 5

Y slope is y=x+b

Answer 6

so all you do is subtract and then divide to get y by it self

Answer 7

Actually that is a wrong representation. Misleading and unclear information. Let me take it from here.

Answer 8

sorry its y=mx+b

Answer 9

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b.
Your coordinate is (x,y)
Substitute it in the equation where x and y is located.
b is the vertical translation I believe. Clarify.
And m is your slope.

Answer 10

Yes Music
Your equation is correct. But she needs to learn.

Answer 11

I know what my slope is, but I need a parallel line. Every time I try to write one up, it isn't parallel.

Answer 13

What is your slope?

Answer 14

6

Answer 15

Nope why dont you do the steps and ill show you what i did wrong.

Answer 16

What are you talking about?

Answer 17

6 is not the slope.

Answer 18

I hope you are writing the steps music
Better show her how its done

Answer 19

First of all KimberlyAlice, all you do to get a parallel line is to use the same slope, because lines that are parallel have the same slope. Now to get the slope of the equation it gives you you have to change it into a slope-intercept equation, which is y=mx+b. So change 6x-2y=13 into y=mx.b

Answer 20

No your teachers have perhaps been teaching you right.
You are misinterpreting them.
Your equation is in Ax + By = C
you need y = mx + b

Answer 21

you need to find m by isolating y

Answer 22

Okay

Answer 23

do you have it now then?
