The equation of line AB is y = 2x + 4. Write an equation of a line parallel to line AB in slope-intercept form that contains point (3, -2).
what is the slope of this line y = 2x + 4.??
if a line is parallel, then it has the same slope as the line it is parallel to then you use the equation \[y-y _{1}=m(x-x _{1})\] where \[(3,-2)=(x _{1},y _{1})\]
a.) y = 2 x + 4
b.) y= -1/2 x – ½
c.) y= -1/2 x – 7/2
d.)y= 2x - 8
Those are the choices soo..^^^^^^
y = 2x +4 y = mx + b slope intercept form where m is slope which is always with x and b is y-intercept so what is m in tht equation ?
I think its the second choice...
it can't be the 2nd one parallel lines should have same equation the equation should have same slope like this one y = 2x+ 4 <=== what is the slope ofthis equation
oops.. srry..it's the first one
how ??
im sure its the first..
okay i'm asking how did you get first one ?? answer my question please "y = 2x+ 4 <=== what is the slope ofthis equation" ??
okay soo the slope is Slope 4.000/2.000 = 2.000 ans like u said parallel lines should have the same equations soo i know its not the second one for sure and the third or fourth cuz they are negative soo..that's how i got that answer my little @Nnesha !!
fourth one is not negative how did you get 4000/2000
|dw:1426272325604:dw| m represent slope which is always with x
