OpenStudy (mokeira):

when two lines are parallel, they have the same slope equations of a line are written in the form y=mx+c y=-3x+12 we see that the slope, or m, is -3 so we have the slope, -3, and point (-1,6), we can now form an equation :) \[m=\frac{ \Delta y }{ \Delta x }\] do you know how to do...or i explain further

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please explain further @Mokeira

OpenStudy (mokeira):

but you get the formula right?

OpenStudy (mokeira):

the one on finding m(slope)

@milkbabie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it y = -3x + 7 @Mokeira

OpenStudy (mokeira):

not really \[m =\frac{ y _{1}-y _{2} }{ x_{1}-x_{1} }\] \[-3=\frac{ y-6 }{x --1 }\] cross multiply -3(x+1)=y-6 simplify that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y = -3x + 3 @Mokeira

OpenStudy (mokeira):

correct :)
