Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
<u>What we need to know:</u>
- Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form:
where <em>m</em> is the slope and <em>b</em> is the y-intercept
- Parallel lines always have the same slope (<em>m</em>)
<u>Determine the slope (</u><em><u>m</u></em><u>):</u>
<u /><u />
The slope of the given line is , since it is in the place of <em>m</em> in y=mx+b. Because parallel lines always have the same slope, the slope of a parallel line would also be
. Plug this into y=mx+b:
<u>Determine the y-intercept (</u><em><u>b</u></em><u>):</u>
To find the y-intercept, plug in the given point (6,14) and solve for <em>b</em>:
Therefore, the y-intercept of the line is 22. Plug this back into :
I hope this helps!
If you divide by 8, you can put the equation into intercept form. That form is ...
... x/a + y/b = 1
where <em>a</em> and <em>b</em> are the x- and y-intercepts, respectively.
Here, your equation would be
... x/(-2) + y/(-4) = 0
The graph with those intercepts is not shown with your problem statement here. See the attachment for the graph.
