Question

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is 2x – 3y = 6?

A. 1/5

B. 3/3

C. 2/3

D. 4/3

Answer 1

The slope of parallel lines are always the same. :)

Answer 2

parallel lines have same slope

Answer 3

Answer 4

So first let's make your equation into y=mx + b form

Answer 5

@pooja

Answer 6

Right

Answer 7

yall need some help?

Answer 8

So we have 2x - 3y = 6

add 3y on both sides

subtract 6 on both sides

what do you get? :P

Answer 9

Oh snap, I have a hard time converting standrad form into slope intercept form

Answer 10

@TheSmartOne HELP me with this one question after this pls

Answer 11

It's not that hard. :)

You just add some stuff here, subtract some stuff there. Divide by a number here. It's all pretty simple :)

Answer 12

So we have 2x - 3y = 6

First let's add 3y on both sides. So that way you don't have too much of trouble dealing with negative numbers. :)

Answer 13

2x= 6 + 3y right?

Answer 14

correct!

now subtract 6 on both sides :D

Answer 15

4x = 3y?

Answer 16

nope, we can't subtract the 2x with it.

2x has a variable 'x' with it. But 6 doesn't so we can't subtract it :P

Answer 17

Oh so would it be 6 - 2x = 3y?

Answer 18

Nope,

\(\sf\Large 2x = 3y + 6\)

\(\sf\Large 2x -6 = 3y + 6 - 6\)

\(\sf\Large 2x -6 = 3y\)


And just so that way y will b in front of the equation :P
\(\sf\Large 3y = 2x - 6\)

Answer 19

Oh

Answer 20

Then I divide 3 on both sides right? @TheSmartOne

Answer 21

Correct! :D

Answer 22

Yes! :D Okay then I got y = 2/3x - 2 right?

Answer 23

So then the answer would be C! 2/3!

Answer 24

correct! Good job! :D

Answer 25

Awesome! Now for the next 7 xD
