Question

Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line x + 4y = 6 and passes
through (-8, 5).

Answer 1

first go ahead and put it into slope intercept form

Answer 2

y=mx+b

Answer 3

how do i do that

Answer 4

5=m(-8)+b

Answer 5

agh sorry i dont think i remember enough. i know that the parallel line will have the same slope. then the y intercept will be your Y(im pretty sure.

Answer 6

x+4y=6 is what you are given. put that into slope intercept form first.

Answer 7

@Directrix could you help?

Answer 8

do you know how to do that?

Answer 9

not really i forget

Answer 10

subtract the x from the one side and put it onto the other. what does that give you so far?

Answer 11

4y=6x

Answer 12

sorry I'm so tired and need to finish the last two problems on my worksheet

Answer 13

no, you cant combine the 6 and x. so it would be 4y=-x+6. then you are trying to isolte the y. so divide by 4

Answer 14

when someone done helping high, would you mind helping me?

Answer 15

real quick

Answer 16

y=-4x+1.5

Answer 17

instead of 4x it would be -1/4x. do you know rise over run? or how to find slope?

Answer 18

no

Answer 19

how long have you been working on stuff like this? its pretty important to know...hahah
