Hey there! :)
6 = 1 - b
Like I mentioned in my previous answer, we must isolate our variable. In this case, our variable is b.
So, our first step is to subtract 1 from both sides.
6 - 1 = 1 - b - 1
Simplify.
5 = b
Therefore, b = 5
~hope I helped~
Answer:
In exercises 3 and 4,write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line. 3. (1,3); y=2x-5 4. (-2,1); y= -4x+3 *In exercises 5 and 6, determine which of the lines,if any, are parallel or perpendicular. Explain! 5. line a passes through (-2,3) and (1,-1). Line b passes through (-3,1) and (1,4). Line c passes through (0,2) and (3,-2). 6. Line a: y= -4x +7 Line b: x= 4y+2 Line c: -4y+x=3 *In exercises 7 and 8, write an equation of the line that passes through the given point and is perpendicular to the given line. 7. (2,-3); y= 1/3x -5 8.(6,1); y= -3/5x-5 * In exercises 11-13, determine whether the statement is sometimes,always, or never true. Explain your reasoning! 11. A line with a positive slope and a line with a negative slope are parallel. 12. A vertical line is perpendicular to the x-axis. 13. two lines with the same x-intercept are perpendicular.
