Question

Select the equation of a line that is parallel to the line on the graph and passes through the point (2, 3).

y = 2x + 4

y = - 2x + 2

y = - 1 over 2 x + 2

y = - 1 over 2 x + 4

Answer 2

Answer 3

slope-intercept form: y = mx + b
when m = slope and b = y-intercept

could you first determine the slope of the line on the graph?

Answer 4

-2

Answer 5

or -1/2

Answer 6

-1/2 would be correct :)

then since parallel lines have equal slope
the slope of the line you're looking for would also have a slope of -1/2

Answer 7

i am thinking th e answer would be y = - 1 over 2 x + 2

Answer 8

mmm not quite :) try again?

Answer 9

+4

Answer 10

yep :)

Answer 11

thanks can you help with one more

Answer 12

sure :)

Answer 13

Select the coordinates of two points on the line y = -2.

(2, -2) and (-2, 2)

(-2, -2) and (-2, 0)

(2, -2) and (0, -2)

(-2, 2) and (-2, -2)

Answer 14

coordinate points are formatted like (x, y)
so when y = -2
the point would be (x, -2) where x can be any number

Answer 15

so it would be (2,-2) and (0,-2)

Answer 16

Correct! :)
