Question

use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point slope form, slope-intercept form, and standard form

passing through (-4,6) and parallel to the line whose equation is Y= -2/3x +1/3

(HELP PLEASE)

Answer 1

what is said about the gradients of parallel slopes?

Answer 2

@mickey4691 IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THE GRADIENTS

Answer 3

if two lines are parallel, that means they have the same gradient

Answer 4

use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point slope form, slope-intercept form, and standard form

passing through (-4,6) and parallel to the line whose equation is Y= -2/3x +1/3

(HELP PLEASE)

Answer 5

try to understand what's going on first

Answer 6

that's all it says @mick

Answer 7

the point (-4, 6) has the same gradient as the other equation because the lines are parallel

Answer 8

oh ok I see what you're saying @mickey4691 sorry about that this isn't my best subject

Answer 9

that means my y=6, x=-4 and m= -2/3
so i have to find c to make y=mx+c

Answer 10

therefore i have 6= (-2/3)*(-4) + c
find for c and rewrite the equation as a slope form

Answer 11

so is that point slope form

Answer 12

??? @mickey4691

Answer 13

i have to find for c.
c becomes 10/3
therefore the point slope form becomes
y=-2/3x + 10/3

Answer 14

got it so what's the slope-intercept form? @mickey4691

Answer 15

use this as a reference.
