HELP PLEASE LAST MINUTE WORK NEED NOW
The equation of line EF is y = 1 over 2x + 6. Write an equation of a line parallel to line EF in slope-intercept form that contains point (0, −2).

y = −2x − 2
y = negative 1 over 2x + 2
y = 1 over 2x − 2
y = − 2x + 2

anonymous · Answer

y = 2x + 2

parthkohli · Answer

that does not contain the point (0,-2), heartless

anonymous · Answer

No, Im very comfused..

e.mccormick · Answer

@II-Heartless-ll 1) That is not one of the answers. 2) Do not do answers only... read the CoC. http://openstudy.com/code-of-conduct

e.mccormick · Answer

For the other line to be parallel it must have the same slope.  So all you need is a line with the same slope that has that point.

anonymous · Answer

I understand the COC I need help though, And I have very limited time right now.

e.mccormick · Answer

I was not taling to you, Lex, about the CoC.  =)

texaschic101 · Answer

what answer choice has the same slope as the original equation ?

anonymous · Answer

I would guess either y=2x+2 or 1 over 2x-2 ... im not very good at this subject though :/

nnesha · Answer

y = mx +B slope intercept form
m = slope 
b  =y-intercept

anonymous · Answer

Would it be A then.

texaschic101 · Answer

there is only 1 answer choice that has the same slope as the original equation

e.mccormick · Answer

I am betting your y = 1 over 2x + 6 means:

$y = \dfrac{1}{2}x + 6$

So you need the same 1/2 slope and then just put in the points with b to find the new intercept,.

e.mccormick · Answer

Oooh!  Good point Tex!  Yah, that is a huge givaway!

parthkohli · Answer

wait, wasn't that obvious

texaschic101 · Answer

not necessary...only 1 answer choice has the same slope....parallel lines have same slope...the other 3 answers are automatically sliminated

texaschic101 · Answer

typo...eliminated

e.mccormick · Answer

Parth, yah... with it being the only one with the same slope, the entire question is a but of a giveaway.

anonymous · Answer

This is confusing for me, im sorry, would it be B

e.mccormick · Answer

a bit...

texaschic101 · Answer

what is the slope of the original equation

e.mccormick · Answer

Lex, you slowp is 1/2 or 1 over 2.  Which answer has that slope?

texaschic101 · Answer

lol....and you said I gave a big hint

nnesha · Answer

$\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}$ @Nnesha
y = mx +B slope intercept form
m = slope 
b  =y-intercept
$\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}$
m is slope which is  ALWAYS  with x o^_^o
;p

C!

Thank you guys sorry im a slow poke.

texaschic101 · Answer

BINGO :)

e.mccormick · Answer

It is OK.  In the end you saw the key part.
