what? @Hey199
OpenStudy (adobohobo):
i tried to follow what this video did but i ended up with y=3x-4 but that isn't the correct answer
OpenStudy (hey199):

a 3x+y=5
b 3x+y=-5
c 3x+y=-1
d 3x+y=-7
these are the options
OpenStudy (perl):
6x+2y = 4
Did you solve for y first?
I suggest that since we need the slope.
OpenStudy (adobohobo):
like as in y=2-3x? @perl
OpenStudy (hey199):
y = -3x +10

shoot what am i doing wrong
OpenStudy (hey199):
no
OpenStudy (adobohobo):
sorry for being slow rn its 247 am lol
OpenStudy (adobohobo):
where i am at
OpenStudy (perl):
Yes that's correct. y = -3x + 2
Parallel lines have the same slope so the slope of your new line will be -3.
Can you finish it from here?

@perl would 3x+y=5 be the answer
OpenStudy (retireed):
Can you show me your work. so I can check your process?
OpenStudy (retireed):
I want to see if you worked it out or just do a guess.
