Question

PLEASE HELP!! Will Fan and Medal!! :)

Answer 1

The equation of line EF is y = 1 over 2x + 6. Write an equation of a line parallel to line EF in slope-intercept form that contains point (0, −2).

y = −2x − 2
y = negative 1 over 2x + 2
y = 1 over 2x − 2
y = − 2x + 2

Answer 2

can you please explain?

Answer 3

\[\large\rm y = \frac{1} {2x}+6 \] is this the equation?

Answer 4

yes!

Answer 5

if thats the case then
\[\large\rm y= -2x+c\]
clear?

Answer 6

no sorry :(

Answer 7

\[\large\rm m_1m_2=-1\]
the m1 is the gradient/slope of first line and m2 is the gradient/slope of second line.
\[\large\rm \frac{1}{2x}m_2=-1\]\[\large\rm m_2=-2x\]\[\large\rm y=mx+c\]\[\large\rm y=-2x+c\]

Answer 8

now clear?

Answer 9

I'm trying to understand but what does the c represent?

Answer 10

c is just a constant or y intercept

Answer 11

ok i'm still kind of confused i'm sorry it's really hard for me to understand some things especially math

Answer 12

what DogzCatz right?

Answer 13

was oops

Answer 14

it's just a constant which will tell how much the line will be above or below x-axis. Remember it's not the answer.

Answer 15

no dogcatz wasnt right

Answer 16

btw I have to go so I am just going to write the complete solution.
\[\large\rm y=-2x+c\]\[\large\rm y=-2, x =0 \]\[\large\rm -2=0+c \]\[\large\rm -2=c \]\[\large\rm y=-2x-2~is~the~equation \]

Answer 17

I'm still trying to understand but thank you for your explanation!!! :)
