Question

I have no clue on how to do this. i rechecked my notes and called friends but they don't know help ?

Write an equation of a line parallel to line GH below in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (-5, 6).

Answer 1

First you calculate the slope which is rise over run

Answer 2

So in this case it is 2

Answer 3

a. y = -x -1
b. y= x -1
c. y= -x + 11
d. y= x + 11

Answer 4

With parallel equations the slope is the same

Answer 5

So the slope of the parallel line is 2

Answer 6

the slope is actually 1 :)

Answer 7

Lol my bad

Answer 8

Now we figure out the y intercept

Answer 9

all good :)
then you plug in the coordinates :)
(6)=(-5)+b (you put b because you don't know where the line will start)

Answer 10

you can probably figure what b equals :P

Answer 11

I think the y intercept is 0,11

Answer 12

it won't be points.....it is 11 so the equation will be:
y=x+11 :) is that one of the answers?

Answer 13

O wait I think it's 12

Answer 14

nope...its 11 :) 6+5=11

Answer 15

Yes it is. & i understand now. but i have a question. i dont have to use the y-y1 = m(x-x1)?

Answer 16

Yup it's 11

Answer 17

no. you will use slope intercept form :) y+mx+b

Answer 18

Not when doing this kind

Answer 19

yes. you do.

Answer 20

ooohhh i see. Thank you guys & gals ^.^ thanks for helping me understand. & know how to do it.
