Question

Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 4) and is parallel to y = -3x + 6.

Answer 1

y = 1/3x + 14/3
y = 3x + 10
y = -3x - 2
y = -1/3x + 10/3

Answer 2

i say A

Answer 3

do you know what is the slope of this equation y = -3x +6 ??

Answer 4

wait no that would be perpindicular

Answer 5

^^^

Answer 6

-3 is the slope

Answer 7

so it would be C?

Answer 8

Bcause it has to have the same slope to be parrelel?

Answer 9

yes so u need to find equation which suppose to be parallel line so slope of new equation suppose to be what ??

Answer 10

yep you are lucky there is only one answer choice with same slope ;)

Answer 11

haha ok thanks

Answer 12

np :)

Answer 13

i got cpnfused with perpendicular and parrelel

Answer 14

yep parllel lines have same slope
but perpendicular line should be negative reciprocal

Answer 15

yup ok thanks again

Answer 16

if i need help again can you help?

Answer 17

i'll try :)

Answer 18

y = m x + b
{x = -2, y = 4, m = -3}
b = 2

Answer 19

b is not 2

Answer 20

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @robtobey
y = m x + b
{x = -2, y = 4, m = -3}
b = 2
\(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\)
4 = -2(-3) + b
4 = 6 + b
subtract 6 both side
-2 = b
i guess there is a typo which is 2 instead of -2
