Question

Please help me... :)
Select the equation of the line that passes through the point (3, −1) and is parallel to the line on the graph.

y = −1
y = 3
y = x −1
y = 3x −1

Answer 1

Where is the line on the graph?

Answer 2

so if the 2 lines are parallel, does that mean they have the same slope or different slopes?

Answer 3

the same slope, and i have located the line. I don't think its B, I know its not A, because I have tried that.. I just dont know how to get c or d...

Answer 4

@AbdullahM

Answer 5

yes, it has the same slope.

Answer 6

but this new line will have to pass through the point (3,-1)

Answer 7

yes, I know where the line is, it is approx. 3.5 units down from the original line.

Answer 8

@AbdullahM

Answer 9

The line in the graph seems to have the equation \(\sf y=2.5\)

Answer 10

yes, I know

Answer 11

What is the y-value for this point (3,-1)

Answer 12

-1

Answer 13

so the line will have to be \(\sf y=-1\)

Answer 14

and whatever the x-value may be, the y-value will always be -1

Answer 15

so it has the same slope of 0, and it passes through the point (3,-1)

Answer 16

but A is not the answer, I tried that and got it wrong.

Answer 17

@AbdullahM

Answer 18

@AbdullahM

Answer 19

That's absurd, the answer for sure is A
