Question

NEED HELP FAST! I WILL GIVE MEDAL AND FAN!!


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

Answer 1

what have you tried? :)

Answer 2

could you find the slope of 3x - y = -3 ?

Answer 3

Slope of line must be 3.
y=3x+3
Comparwith
y=mx+c

Answer 4

Let eq be
y=3x+c
Find c by satisfying the equation with
(4,-2)
Then put value of c in above equation you will get the answer.

Answer 5

Slope of line must be 3.
y=3x+3
Comparwith
y=mx+c

Answer 6

So i have to change the equation to y=mx+b?

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

so it would be y=3x-3?

Answer 9

Y=3x+3

Answer 10

in the answer choices they're looking for a fraction in the equation

Answer 11

you got how the slope is 3 ?

Answer 12

yes i get that part

Answer 13

becaus b= slope in y=mx+b

Answer 14

yes, so
your answer will be of the form

y - 3x +c

now we have the point 4,-2
plug in x= 4, y= -2 in that

Answer 15

in
y= 3x+c
**

Answer 16

No m is the slope .

Answer 17

-2 = 3*4 + c

Answer 18

b is the point where the line cuts the y-axis

Answer 19

yes the y-intercept sorry i got confused for a second i realize that now thank you

Answer 20

-2 = 3*4 + c
yes thats right,
now what is c ?

Answer 21

3?

Answer 22

Welcome, now solve other part carefully.

Answer 23

how?

-2 = 12 +c
subtract 12 from both sides to get c

Answer 24

-14 = c

Answer 25

-2 =3*4 -14

Answer 26

yes,
so your equation as of now is
y = 3x -14
right ?
now what are your choices?

Answer 27

no right now i have -2 = 3*4 - 14

Answer 28

we had
y = mx +c
the slope we got , m = 3

so we were
y= 3x +c.


now we need to just find the "c" part.

for which we used the given point.
and got c = -14

Answer 29

and if we plug c in
y = 3x+c,
we get
y = 3x -14 :)

Answer 30

yes! but the answer choiches all have fractions in them

Answer 31

nevermind

Answer 32

that is correct thanks so much for your help!

Answer 33

most welcome ^_^
hallp to help :)

Answer 34

*happy
