Question

write an equation of a line parallel to y=2/3x-5 in slope intercept form that passes through the point (-6, -1)

Answer 1

y = 2/3x - 5 do you know what is slope in this equation ??

Answer 2

Do you know what slope int form is?

Answer 3

@Nnesha the slope in the equation is 2/3

Answer 4

it's parallel so the gradient is same i:e 2/3 to fine the equation use the formula

Answer 5

yes right so parallel lines should have same slope

Answer 6

slope of new equation is going to be 2/3 bec u have to writen equation of parallel line
and parallel lines have same slope
y = 2/3x + b
now use that order pair where first values is x and 2nd one is y like this
(x ,y)
now replace x and y by their values then solve for b

Answer 7

write*

Answer 8

gradient/ slope ..same thing :)

Answer 9

@Nnesha I don't really understand how to solve for b

Answer 10

first replace x and y by their values

Answer 11

:l

Answer 12

let me know how u plugged that into the equation so we can ssolve for b :)

Answer 13

(-6, -1) = (x, y) ? @Nnesha

Answer 14

is the answer y=2/3x-6 @Nnesha

Answer 15

nope y-intercept is not -6

Answer 16

replace x by -6 and y by -1
