Write an equation of a line in slope intercept form that is parallel to the line x + 4y = 6 and passes through (-8, 5)

1 answer:

3 0

If the line is parallel, then their slope would be equal.
4y = -x + 6
y = -1/4 x + 3/2

Compare it with, y = mx + b
m = -1/4 [ Slope ]

Now, y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 5 = -1/4 (x + 8)
y - 5 = -1/4x - 2
y = -1/4x + 3

In short, Your Answer would be: y = -1/4x + 3

Hope this helps!

Answer:

y = -6

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

-x + 2y = -13

-x - 2y = 11

Sum the equations:

-x -x = -2x

+2y - 2y = 0

-13 + 11 = -2

then

-2x = -2

x = -2/-2

x = 1

from the first eq.

-x + 2y = -13

-1 + 2y = -13

2y = -13 + 1

2y = -12

y = -12/2

y = -6

check:

from the second eq.

-x -2y = 11

-1 -(2*-6) = 11

-1 -(-12) = 11

-1 + 12 = 11
