answer:

y=2x+6

solution:

Alright, since the line is PARALLEL, the slope will remain the same. let call the # we will add to that b (like the 5 in y=2x+5).

so the formula will be y=2x+b

to find be, we will plug in one of the ordered pairs

6=2(0)+b

6=0+b

b=6

So, our equation is y=2x+6

to check:

(-3,0)

0=2(-3)+6

0=-6+6

0=0

Answer:

y = 2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for this is y=mx+b, m being for slope and b being the y-intercept.

The first and easiest way to figure out this first is by finding the slope. Now because you have the information that it needs to be parallel, it's very fast and simple. Parallel means that it has the same slope and the lines will never cross each other. So, since the slope for this is 2, the new line you will be making will also have a slope of 2.

EXTRA NOTE- if it were perpendicular, you'd want to do the opposite reciprocal. Instead of being 2, it'd be -1/2, but luckily we're just dealing with parallel.

Now we need to find what the y-intercept is. Since math basically has a formula for everything, you will be using y-y(1)= m(x-x(1)). Now that looks slightly confusing, but basically you will just plug your y value into the y(1) and x coordinate into x(1) to simplify into slope intercept form (don't forget your slope!). It's always easier to use positive numbers for this, so I'll be using the coordinates (0, 6) and plug it in.

REMEMBER- coordinates are (x, y). Don't get it mixed up!

1. Write out your equation: y - 6 = 2 ( x - 0 )

2. Distribute: y - 6 = 2x - 0

3. Add 6 to the other side to get into your slope intercept form:  y = 2x + 6

And that's how you get your line. Hope this helped and made at least some sense. :)

What is x?<br> HELP!!<br> Pls
kow [346]

Since line c and d are parallel, line a can act as a transversal. Thus, x=124 degrees because of the alternate exterior angle relationship that can be seen.

How do I make an equation using 0.5 for slope and 3 for y intercept
Ann [662]

The slope-intercept form of a line is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Since you are given the slope (0.5) and the y-intercept (3), all you have to do is substitute these given values into the equation.  Substituting them in you get: y = 0.5x + 3, which is your answer.
