Parallel lines have the same slope.
OpenStudy (triciaal):
passes through the given (x1, y1)
OpenStudy (triciaal):
equation of the line
(y-y1) = m(x - x1) where (x, y) is any point on that line and m is the slope

any ideas?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im thinking y=3x-1
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
becuase 3 is the slop and 1 is the y-intercept

2.5 is a number, not an equation, right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
true
OpenStudy (anonymous):
would it be y = 3
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
why 3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
because there is no slope its in one spot

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
yes, so the equation is y = 2.5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but thats not an option
OpenStudy (skullpatrol):
stop looking at the answers ...
look at the graph and match it to the question please
OpenStudy (anonymous):
geez okay, y= 2.5 right i understand why
