Find the equation of a line through the point (-1,4)and parallel to the line whose equation is 2x-y=3

Mathematics

Slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b

"m" is the slope, "b" is the y-intercept (the y value when x = 0 or (0,y))


You can first isolate the "y" in the given equation

2x - y = 3    Subtract 2x on both sides

-y = 3 - 2x     Divide -1 on both sides to get "y" by itself

y = -3 + 2x  or   y = 2x - 3


For lines to be parallel, their slopes have to be the same.


The given line's slope is 2, so the parallel line's slope is also 2.

y= mx + b

y = 2x + b

To find "b", plug in the point (-1,4) into the equation

y = 2x + b

4 = 2(-1) + b

4 = -2 + b     Add 2 on both sides

6 = b


y = 2x + 6

I don't understand how to do this, could I have some help?​
kondaur [170]

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1. slope = rise/run

step 2. the rise is the height between any 2 points

step 3. the run is the distance left or right between the same 2 points

step 4. if the line goes up "left to right" the slope is positive, down it is negative

step 5. slope = + 6/2 = 3.

Are the two right triangles trs and wuv congruent? If so name the congruence postulate that applies
Nataly_w [17]
<span>Two figures are said to be congruent when they have the same shape and size or if one object is a mirror image of the other object.<span> The right triangles trs and wuv are congruent when they have equal lengths of the sides and having equal sides, angles should as well be equal with the two triangles.</span></span>
