Question

18. Write an equation of a line whose graph is parallel to the graph of y = 3x – 10.

Answer 1

first we need to find the slope of the equation given. We do this because a parallel line will have the same slope. Do you know how to find the slope of y = 3x - 10 ??

Answer 2

y=mx+b
m is the slope, any equation with the same slope is parallel to the prior line

Answer 3

not always true...because an equation can have the same slope, but it cannot have the same y intercept, or it will be consistent...the same line.

So any equation that has a slope of -2 and any y intercept number except 10.

Answer 4

so y = -2x + 3 or y = -2x + 4 are parallel. But y = -2x + 10 is not parallel because the y intercepts would be the same

Answer 5

we know it's not the same exact line, so we know it's not going to have the same y-intercept

Answer 6

oops....slope is 3x, not -2...I do not know where I got that from...brain fart

Answer 7

so a parallel line would be : y = 3x + 4, or y = 3x + 5....it cannot be y = 3x - 10

Answer 8

I still dont understand

Answer 9

or..
In y = mx + b form, the slope is the m position and the y intercept is the b position

y = 3x = 10
slope(m) = 3
(y intercept) = (0,10)..x = 0 and y = 10
now we sub
y = mx + b
10 = 3(0) + b
10 = b

parallel equation is : y = 3x + 10

Answer 10

typo...y = 3x - 10

Answer 11

ok thank you

Answer 12

that is the original equation.....the parallel one would be y = 3x + 10

Answer 13

you mean y=3x-10

Answer 14

y = 3x - 10 is the original equation....a parallel equation to this would be y = 3x + 10

Answer 15

I disagree, any number would fit for b

Answer 16

true...I am not saying this is the only parallel equation. Any number would fit for b except -10

Answer 17

y=3x=10 i thougt it was y=3x-10
