Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 4) and is parallel to y = -3x + 6.

y = one thirdx + 14 thirds

y = 3x + 10

y = -3x - 2

y = -one thirdx + 10 thirds

Answer 1

Please help. :|

Answer 2

okay so first you need to put into point slope form

Answer 3

Okay. Is that something like y2-y1/x2-x1? I forget. :|

Answer 4

no its the y-4=-3(x+2)

Answer 5

Okay.

Answer 6

so then you need to distribute the -3

Answer 7

Okay, so i distribute them through (x+2)?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

I got -3x+1

Answer 10

Well Y-4=-3x+1

Answer 11

okay so now you add the 4 on both sides

Answer 12

Right, Thats because its passing through the equal sign, Correct?

Answer 13

well thats how you isolate the y

Answer 14

Alright, So i ended up with Y=1x+1

Answer 15

wait you should have y=-3x+5

Answer 16

Okay, That was my mistake on the math, Your right

Answer 17

oh wait hold on let me write it out i may be wrong

Answer 18

Okay. I got it because i added 4 to -3

Answer 19

im sorry its y=-3x-2

Answer 20

Okay Now what

Answer 21

Oh wait, Thats the answer

Answer 22

Thank you!

Answer 23

welcome!!
