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

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):

OpenStudy (piercetheveil47):

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):
:(

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
