Parallel to : y = 1/2x - 8

Passes through (-6, -17)

Our given slope is 1/2.

Plug the given coordinates into point-slope form.

y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

y - (-17) = 1/2(x - (-6))

Simplify.

y + 17 = 1/2(x + 6)  ← Your answer.

However, sometimes teachers want this simplified even further.

So, simplify this.

y + 17 = 1/2x + 3

Subtract 17 from both sides.

y = 1/2x + 3 - 17

Simplify.

y = 1/2x - 14 ← Slope-intercept form.

Standard form → -1/2x + y = -14

Which of the following equations describes the line shown below? (1, 10) (-3, 2)
Greeley [361]
(1,10)(-3,2)
slope = (2-10) / (-3-1) = -8/-4 = 2

y = mx + b
slope(m) = 2
(1,10)...x = 1 and y = 10
now we sub and solve for b, the y int
10 = 2(1) + b
10 = 2 + b
10 - 2 = b
8 = b

equation is : y = 2x + 8.....or 2x - y = -8

Daniel [21]

Answer:

5 x 8 = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the area of a parallelogram is a = bh. Its the same as a square or rectangle. So you just have to multiply the lenght (5) and width (8) which equals 40.
