Question

ILL GIVE U A MEDAL AND BECOME A FAN!!
HELP ME PLEZ!! Use the point-slope form linear equation: y+4=-4(x-2) What is the equation in standard form of a parallel line that passes through (0,-2)?

Answer 1

are u able to help me? @Cosmichaotic

Answer 2

Oh yes, sure! Sorry, was afk

Answer 3

Ok, so just a little quick lesson if you want my help!

Answer 4

There are 3 forms we can write linear equations in.

One is called the Slope Intercept Form.
This looks like this: y = mx + b

Another one is called Point-Slope Form.
This looks like this: y-y1=m(x - x1)
This is the form your equation is in.

The last one is called Standard Form.
This looks like this: Ax + Bx + C = 0

Answer 5

Fix the last one: Standard Form is: Ax + By + C = 0

Answer 6

Now. We need to turn your Point-Slope equation into Standard Form.

Answer 7

Let me know you are with me so far.

Answer 8

okay. I see where ur going

Answer 9

Alright cool! So your equation is: \[y+4=-4(x-2)\]

Let's get that into Standard Form First.

Let's do all the operations we need to to get this thing equal to 0.
