Question

what is the equation written in slope-intercept form that passes through the point (-1,-6) and is perpendicular to the line y+6=-1/4(x-9)

Answer 1

@Godlovesme

Answer 2

first write y+6= -1/4(x-9) in slope-intercept formula
to do that distribute -1/2 first and subtract 6 can u do that?

Answer 3

do you mean distribute -1/4?

Answer 4

@priea

Answer 5

yes i apologize =0

Answer 6

its okay just making sure i understand

Answer 7

k so can u write the eqn in slope-intercept ? :)

Answer 8

yea almost but for some reason i got 2.25 when i distributed -1/4 with -9. i think i did something wrong

Answer 9

no no u r right its
y+6= -1/4x + 2.25 next step subtract 6

Answer 10

y=-1/4x-3.75?

Answer 11

yes do u remember what we do for the slope when its perpendicular?

Answer 12

flip it?

Answer 13

yes and change the sign so our new slope is?

Answer 14

thats where im lost

Answer 15

k the slope was -1/4
flip --> -4 /1
change sign --> 4/1 --> 4
does that make sense?

Answer 16

so y=4x-3.75?

Answer 17

yes sorry for taking so long my internet slow (-1,-6)
now we need to use the point-slope form
y-y1= m(x-x1)
y- -6 = 4(x- -1)
y+6= 4(x+1)
can u solve from there? :)

Answer 18

thanks

Answer 19

anytime :)

Answer 20

okay so i really cant fail this lesson anymore so i like need fast help and answers! lol please

Answer 21

k what's ur question?

Answer 22

what is the equation of the line written in slope-intercept form that passes through (3,-3) and is parallel to the line y+2=2(x-3)

Answer 23

can u at least change it to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b)
all u gotta do is distribute and subtract two

Answer 24

i thught it was y-y1=m(x-x1)? so then it would be y-2=2(x-3)/

Answer 25

yea u r right but first the eqn y+2=2(x-3) should be changed into y=mx+b form that way we will be able to identify the slope sorry for confusing u :(

Answer 26

sorry laptop died but the answer is y=2x-9?

Answer 27

OMG thnks so much for your help!

Answer 28

yes and my pleasure :D
