What is an equation of the line that passes through the point (-6,-8) and is parallel to the line x-2y=6?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

<u>What we need to know:</u>

  • Linear equations are typically organized in slope-intercept form: y=mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept (the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis)
  • Parallel lines always have the same slope and different y-intercepts

<u>1) Determine the slope (m)</u>

x-2y=6

Rearrange this equation into slope-intercept form (this will help us find the slope)

Subtract x from both sides

x-2y-x=6-x\\-2y=-x+6

Divide both sides by -2

y=\frac{1}{2} x-3

Now, we can identify clearly that the slope of the given line is \frac{1}{2} since it's in the place of m. Because parallel lines always have the same slopes, the line we're currently solving for would therefore have a slope of \frac{1}{2} as well. Plug this into y=mx+b:

y=\frac{1}{2}x+b

<u>2) Determine the y-intercept (b)</u>

y=\frac{1}{2}x+b

Plug in the given point (-6,-8)

-8=\frac{1}{2}(-6)+b\\-8=-3+b

Add 3 to both sides to isolate b

-8+3=-3+b+3\\-5=b

Therefore, the y-intercept is -5. Plug this back into y=\frac{1}{2}x+b:

y=\frac{1}{2}x-5

I hope this helps!

Find y.
Elena L [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

sin A = \frac{opposite side}{Hypotenuse}

Sin 29 = \frac{y}{500}

0.4848 * 500 = y

y = 242.4 ft

Question no. 6, can anyone help?
monitta
In order to find this you have to set i by itself first we will subtravt 40 from both sides(because 40 is s positive and in order to get rid of a positive you have to use a negative) now we have -40=5i, now divide 5 from both sides to get i=-8, that is what Terry will be givng from tip

Hope this helps

Write the equation of the line that passes through (3, 4) and (2, –1) in slope-intercept form.
matrenka [14]
1) slope is 6 and y-intercept is ( 0,5)    y = mx + b, m = 6, b = 5    y = 6x + 5 2)line passes through the points ( 3,6) and ( 6,3 )   First find the slope:  m = (3-6)/(6-3) = -3/3 = -1   y = -x + b   Plug in one of the given points (x,y) and find b   6 = -3 + b   9 = b  <span> y = -x + 9</span> a horizontal line that passes through the point ( -1,7)Horizontal lines have a constant y-value and formaty = c  where c is a constant number. y = 7 y=-3x+3x intercept:  set y = 0 and solve for x0 = -3x + 33x = 3x = 1x-intercept: (1, 0) y-intercept:  set x = 0 and solve for yy = -3(0) + 3y = 3y-intercept: (0,3) y=0,5x-1Is this two equations? The line y=0 has y-intercept at (0,0)The x-intercept is the entire x-axis y=5x-1x -intercept:  Set y = 0 and solve for x y-intercept: Set x = 0 and solve for y
