Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 3x - y = -3 and passes through the point (4, -2).

A) y = -one thirdx - 6
B) y = -one thirdx - 14
C) y = 3x - 6
D) y = 3x - 14

Answer 1

First step can u change 3x-y=-3 into slope-intercept form?

Answer 2

m =3 @Godlovesme

Answer 3

@Godlovesme hello? i found M = 3

Answer 4

Sorry sorry :/ im bak now

Answer 5

3 u mean the slope?

Answer 6

i guess XD

Answer 7

Hmm that wasn't what u meant huh ;P

Answer 8

Can u solve for y in the given equation? (:

Answer 9

does this help XD http://prntscr.com/6x10kc

Answer 10

that shows the slope :)

Answer 11

..online graphing calculator ._. .. unfortunately that doesn't help :P
Any hoo lets solve it together..
So first step would be subtracting 3x from both sides

Answer 12

oh sure I know

3x - y = -3
3x /3 -y = -3 /3
x - y = -1

like that? :)

Answer 13

Um. Not quite .. but kinda close (: http://prntscr.com/6x1327
Look how I did it c:

Answer 14

Let me know if there is anything confusing (:

Answer 15

ok :)

Answer 16

So do u understand how I solver for y?

Answer 17

yea makes better sense now XD :D

Answer 18

Awesome! :D
So if the y-intercept for is Y=mx+b
And
M stands for slope
B stands for y-intercept
What is the slope of the above equation?

Answer 19

Formula**

^^^ that's what im trying to say :P

Answer 21

so we have y = 3x + 3

wouldn't I take 3x and 3 subtract 3 from the minus 3x? XD

Answer 22

Hmm not really look at the pic and u will understand what I'm asking u for :3

Answer 23

ok :)

Answer 24

@Phoenixbirrd so whats the slope of the equation
Y=3x+3

Answer 25

@Phoenixbirrd tag me when u get back (:

Answer 26

i am working it out :D

Answer 27

Great but It's obvious hold on one sec

Answer 28

m=3,b=3 where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept ?? right? :D

Answer 29

YESSSSSS!!! :DDDDD AWESOME job! :D

Answer 30

yay :) so am i done whats the answer now? XD abcd? XD @Godlovesme

Answer 31

Yea u got it ABCD ;D
Lol not done yet :/ but it gets easier :)

Answer 32

So do u know anything about the slope of parallel lines?

Answer 33

@Phoenixbirrd tag me when u get bak

Answer 34

a little XD @Godlovesme

Answer 35

What do u know? *hint* it has something to do with their slope :P

Answer 36

nvm I found it its D thanks bro :) you get a medal :

Answer 37

Thanks and good job! :D

Answer 38

P.s I'm not bro :P lol
