@dan815 can you help please?

nnesha · Answer

what is a slope  in this equation ???  y = 1 over  4x - 6

anonymous · Answer

there is answer choices to one sec!

nnesha · Answer

its oaky we can solve it first 
don't need to post answer choices :)

nnesha · Answer

okay np
 y = mx + b this is slope intercept form where m is slope which is always with x 
and b is y-intercept what is m this equation  $$y = \frac{ 1 }{ 4 }x + 6$$

anonymous · Answer

So we subtract 6?

nnesha · Answer

nope yo don't have to d anything yet 
i'm asking what is m ???

anonymous · Answer

Oh 1/4

anonymous · Answer

the slope

nnesha · Answer

yep right :-) now you need parallel line equation
so parallel lines should have same slope 
slope of new equation its going to be 1/4 :-)

anonymous · Answer

Okay

nnesha · Answer

$$y = \frac{ 1 }{ 4}x + b$$ 
now use that order pair were first value is x and 2nd one is y ( x , y)
 and substitute x and y values into the equation and then solve for b

anonymous · Answer

how do i solve for b?

anonymous · Answer

Would it be y=1/4x-1

anonymous · Answer

Answer choices:
y=1/4x-1
y=1/4x+5.25
y=-4x+5
y=-4x-1.25

replace x by -1 and y by 5
