Answer:
, or x-2y=14
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
We want to find the equation of the line that passes through the point (2, -6) and is parallel to the line x-2y=8
First, we need to find the slope of x-2y=8, since parallel lines have the same slopes
We can convert the equation from standard form (ax+by=c) to slope-intercept form (y=mx+b, where m is the slope and b is the y intercept), in order to help us find the slope of the line
Start by subtracting x from both sides
-2y=-x+8
Divide both sides by -2
y=-4
The slope of the line x-2y=8 is 1/2
It's also the slope of the line parallel to it.
Since we know the slope of the line, we can plug it into the equation for slope intercept form:
Now we need to find b.
As the equation of the line passes through (2, -6), we can use it to help solve for b
Substitute -6 as y and 2 as x:
Multiply
-6=1+b
Subtract 1 from both sides
-7=b
Substitute -7 as b into the equation:
The equation can be left as that, or you can convert it into standard form if you wish.
In that case, you will need to move 1/2x to the other side:
A rule about the coefficients a, b, and c in standard form is that a (coefficient in front of x) CANNOT be negative, and every coefficient must be an integer (a whole number, not a fraction or decimal).
So multiply both sides by -2 in order to clear the fraction, as well as change the sign of a
x-2y=14
Hope this helps!
A linear equation of the trend line that models the data points contained in the table is y = 0.09x + 16.27.
<h3>How to find a trend line for the data?</h3>In order to determine a linear equation of the trend line (line of best fit) that models the data points contained in the table, we would have to use a scatter plot.
In this scenario, the body weight (in lbs) of the high school students would be plotted on the x-axis of the scatter plot while the backpack weight (in lbs) would be plotted on the y-axis of the scatter plot.
On the Excel worksheet, you should right click on any data point on the scatter plot, select format trend line, and then tick the box to display an equation for the trend line (line of best fit) on the scatter plot.
From the scatter plot (see attachment) which models the relationship between data points in the table, a linear equation of the trend line is given by:
y = 0.09x + 16.27
