Question

what equation has a graph parallel to the graph of 9x + 3y=22?

This is not my strong point so i do not know what to do

Answer 1

Is this supposed to be multiple choice?

9x+3y=22
3y = -9x+22
y = -3x +22/3

Any line with a slope of -3 will be parallel to that line or the same line.

Answer 2

do you know the slope of your line

as parallel lines have the same slope

Answer 3

In general, place a line equation in the form y = mx + b. It's called the slope intercept form. m is the slope, b is the y intercept. Then you can see which lines are parallel: they have the same slope (m).

Answer 4

can you walk me through that
?

Answer 5

You want the equation in the form y = mx+b, where m is the slope.

9x + 3y = 22 You need the x component on the right side of =, so subtract 9x from both sides.

3y = -9x + 22 You want y alone, so divide both sides by 3.

y = -3x + 22/3

y = mx + b: m = -3. Any line with a slope of -3 will either be the same line, or parallel to that line.

Answer 6

Thanks!

Answer 7

Look up line slope intercept on purplemath.com for more explanation, or look in your book.
