Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (4, -6) and is parallel to y = -one halfx + 5. y = -2x + 2 y = 2x - 14 y = one halfx - 8 y = -one halfx - 4
For two lines to be parellel both should have same slope nad substitute point in options, u will get solution
slope is coefficient of x
i wanna say the last one but i'm not sure if that right
yes so start by figuring out the slope of given line : \( y = \frac{1}{2}x +5\)
thats a very good guess, but no
what @meilendurcer said is right slope is -1/2
we can tell the slope of given line just by looking at its equation : \(y = \color{red}{m}x+b\) slope = \(\color{red}{m}\)
y = -\[y= -\frac{ 1 }{ 2 } +5\]
forgot to delte the top part
its okay :) thats the given line, so whats the slope ?
\(\large y = \color{red}{-\frac{1}{2}}x+5\) slope ?
\[y= - \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } x -4\]
yes -1/2 is the slope
Yes thats the correct answer
cool :) thats the right answer indeed ! was just checking if you get it properly ;p
@ganeshie8 yay! please help with another??
sure ask
did we do this one? The functions f(x) and g(x) are described below: f(x) = 2x + 9 g(x) = 2x - 15 The graph of g(x) is obtained by shifting down the graph of f(x) by _____ units.
any good guesses this time ? :)
no not yet
unless
f(x) = 2x15 +9 g(x) = 2x9 - 15?
lets try and write g(x) in terms of f(x) : g(x) = 2x - 15 = 2x + 9 -9 - 15 = 2x + 9 - 24
g(x) = f(x) - 24
Clearly g(x) is a 24 units shifted down version of f(x) ^
ohh, well that was a wild guess. I still need practice to really learn those.
thank you!
hahah we can tame the wilderness by practice ;) yw !
@ganeshie8 lol yeah
