Medal + Fan for best answer.

Please help me. I must give the equations of two lines that are parallel to y=1/2x+5

Answer 1

\[y=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+5\]

Answer 2

Parallel lines have same slope.

Answer 3

First, find the slope of given line..

Answer 4

m = 1/2

Answer 5

Yes?

Answer 6

Good..

Answer 7

So, the other two lines must have same slope, right?

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

They must be like:
\[y = \frac{1}{2}x + c_1\]
\(y = \frac{1}{2}x + c_2\)

Answer 10

Oh um what is c1 and c2?

Answer 11

I havent done those I don't think

Answer 12

Like in your original equation, you have \(5\), right?

Answer 13

\(5\) in that equation is your c, \(c\) is called \(y\)-intercept..

Answer 14

Oh, okay, got it. It's always been b for y-intercept but c works too

Answer 15

What next?

Answer 16

In INDIA, it is \(c\).. :P

Answer 17

Oh ok well that's fine

Answer 18

So, \(c_1\) and \(c_2\), you can choose yourself..

Answer 19

Choose what, a number?

Answer 20

They will just shift your original line upward or downward..

Yes a number..

Answer 21
