WILL GIVE A MEDAL PLEASE HELP The graph of a line is shown below. What is the equation of the line that is parallel to this line and has a y-intercept of 1? (Picture in comments)

Nnesha (nnesha):

what is a slope of graph?? do you know ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have no clue.

Nnesha (nnesha):

what is y-intercept of your graph y-intercept is always on y-axis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so now rise and run see how many rise up and how many you have to go left or right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Up 3 left 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

and also is your line increasing or decreasing??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Decreasing?

Nnesha (nnesha):

so slope should be negative

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So if it's parallel will it be positive?

Nnesha (nnesha):

-3/2 is your slope of graph now parallel lines have same slope so other line also have this slope

Nnesha (nnesha):

no perpendicular lines have opposite signs parallel slopes of two equation should be same

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y= -3/2x + 1?

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes that is the equation

Thank you!
