Question

can someone help me please :)

Answer 1

@iGreen

Answer 2

Ok. If we say that equation A is parallel to equation B, what do they both have that is similar?

Answer 3

i don't think so ?.

Answer 4

Okay, what's the slope of y = 1/5x - 10?

Answer 5

I'm really not sure , can you help

Answer 6

@iGreen

Answer 7

Okay, it's in the form of y = mx + b, where 'm' is the slope..so what's the slope?

Answer 8

b over m + y over m

Answer 9

@iGreen

Answer 10

y = 1/5x - 10

Slope is the number right before 'x', and what's that?

Answer 11

1/5x

Answer 12

Yes, but we don't include 'x'..the slope is 1/5.

Answer 13

Parallel lines have the SAME slope, so the slope of our new line must also be 1/5.

Answer 14

oh okay

Answer 15

so does that mean A AND D are out ?

Answer 16

Yep, you got it.

Answer 17

okay . :) I'm thinking its C.

Answer 18

Now we can plug the slope and the point into point-slope form and simplify.

\(y - y_1 = m(x - x_1)\)

Where \(y_1\) is the y-value of the point, \(x_1\) is the x-value of the point, and \(m\) is the slope.

So we have:

\(y + 16 = \dfrac{1}{5}(x - 15)\)

Distribute 1/5 into the parenthesis:

\(y + 16 = \dfrac{1}{5}x - 3\)

Subtract 16 to both sides, what's -3 - 16?

Answer 19

Yep, it will

Answer 20

yay its C

Answer 21

thank you sir :)

Answer 22

-3 - 16 = -19

\(y = \dfrac{1}{5}x - 19\)

Answer 23

No problem \(\Huge\ddot\smile\)
