Question

Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. Write your equation in slope-intercept form.
Y – 10 = 3/2 (x – 4) ; (4, 2)

Answer 1

parallel lines have same slope

Answer 2

okay so first of all what is slope of this line Y – 10 = 3/2 (x – 4))???????

Answer 3

refresh your page if there is ???? question marks

Answer 4

Y = 4x + 36

Answer 5

what is that ??

Answer 6

That is the answer I got for this problem.

Answer 7

what is slope of the equation that yu have ??

Answer 8

like i said parallel lines have same slope so both equation should have same slope

Answer 9

I messed up. The equation above should be: Y = 4x – 3; (-3, 12) That is what is in the question.

Answer 10

@Nnesha

Answer 11

ohhh okay so what is slope of that equation

Answer 12

I got Y = 4x + 24

Answer 13

But the answer key says differently

Answer 14

yes it should be because htat is wrong :(

Answer 15

What did I do wrong?

Answer 16

wait

Answer 17

yes your equation right

Answer 18

look at your question again ???

Answer 19

Huh? @Nnesha

Answer 20

Can you please explain to me how the answer would be Y = 4x + 24 ?

Answer 21

wait this is the actual equation? Y = 4x – 3?

Answer 22

The question is: Write an equation for the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point. Write your equation in slope-intercept form. Y = 4x – 3; (-3, 12)

Answer 23

ok so from looking at that equation, we know that our parallel line needs to have a slope of 4. since we know one point and the slope, we're going to put them in point-slope form, which is y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Answer 24

because parallel lines have same slope so 2nd equation should be like this y = 4x + b
now plug x an dy values into the equation then solve for b

Answer 25

What I don't understand is how the answer would be Y = 4x + 24
