Nnesha (nnesha):

parallel lines have same slope do you know what is slope of this equation y = -x-7 ??

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

nope, i think it is -7?

Nnesha (nnesha):

y = mx+b this is slope intercept form where m is slope which is always with x and b is y-intercept after this info what is slope of y=-x-7?

Nnesha (nnesha):

-x can be written as -1x

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

ohhhhh

Nnesha (nnesha):

yeahhh! ;) so what is m(slope ) in ur equation ?

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

just a min lemme figure this out haha

Nnesha (nnesha):

np :) take ur time :)

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

hmmmmmm i am stuck between the answers A and D? is that correct?

Nnesha (nnesha):

i'm asking what is slope in this equation y = -x - 7 ?

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

ohh! LOL is it 1?

Nnesha (nnesha):

not just 1

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

-1x

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

or just -1?

Nnesha (nnesha):

^ -1

OpenStudy (holly00d1248):

there you go

Nnesha (nnesha):

so like i said before parallel lines have same slope so which answer choices have same -1 ?

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

A and D/

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

*?

Nnesha (nnesha):

which one ?? you have to choice one

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

hmmmmm i would have to go with D?

Nnesha (nnesha):

the equation in the question is y = -x -7 where slope is -1 which equation in the answer choices have same slope like int this equation y = -x - 7

Nnesha (nnesha):

u didn't understand what i'm saying u r just guessing

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

Oh so it is A

Nnesha (nnesha):

:(

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes right

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

im understanding only parts of it

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

now the last part i understand fully

Nnesha (nnesha):

equation should have -1 slope and there is only one answer choices with same slope like in this equation y = -x -7

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

yes, i understand that. Thank you for taking your time to expain this :) @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

good \(\huge\color{green}{{\rm my }~\rm pleasure !! :)}\) \(\Huge \color{gold}{\star^{ \star^{\star:)}}}\Huge \color{green}{\star^{ \star^{\star:)}}}\)
