OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I am so confused

OpenStudy (triciaal):

@horsegirl27 we are here to help you if you will calm down and follow along. It's not difficult if you are willing to learn the material . In additional to that we can't just give answers that would not be helping you to get ahead.

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I know so wait how to I find the slope? Explain it too me and that should be good

OpenStudy (triciaal):

as above parallel lines have the same slope .

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

ok

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

How do I find the slope again?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

y = m x + b is the general equation of the line in slope intercept form where m is the slope and b is the intercept for a point on the line (x,y)

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

yes ok so y=-3x+12 is slope intercept form

OpenStudy (triciaal):

the slope of the line is the same for any 2 points on the line. the slope is the change in y as a ratio to the corresponding change in the x

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

So 12 is the y -intercept right

OpenStudy (triciaal):

yes

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

ok

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

what is the slope?

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

I am confused how to find the slope

OpenStudy (triciaal):

parallel lines have the same slope and we will use this information to find the equation of the new line at the point given

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

oh

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

But what is the slope thats what I'm confused by

OpenStudy (triciaal):

from the line that was given in slope intercept form the one you recognized m is the slope so the slope is -3

OpenStudy (horsegirl27):

oh that makes sense
