Remember the formula y = mx+b.
'm' in mx is the slope.
'b' is the y-intercept.
So in the equation y = -3x - 3...
The slope is -3. The y-intercept is -3.
I hope you find this answer the most helpful! :)
Answer:
i think its A
Step-by-step explanation:
divide both sides by -2 which makes the y int -3 and A has a negative slope
Answer:Find the distance between the parallel lines m and n whose equations are y = x + 4 and y = x - 6, respectively.
There are several ways to do this...here's one
Let (0, 4) be a point on the first line
Then.......a line with a negative reciprocal slope going through this point will have the equation :
y = -x + 4........so......we can find the intersection of this line with y = x - 6....set both equations equal
-x + 4 = x - 6 add x, 6 to both sides
10 = 2x divide both sides by 2
5 = x
So...using -x + 4, the y value at intersection = -1.......
So...we just need to find the distance from (0,4) to ( 5, -1) =
√[ (5)^2 + (4 + 1)^2 ] = 5√2 ≈ 7.07 units
Here's a pic....AB is the distance with A = (0,4) and B = (5, -1)
