Here's one I just did. \n" ); document.write( "Only the numbers are different. \n" ); document.write( "------------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Write the equation of the line which passes through (–4, 2) and is parallel to y = –x + 6 in slope-intercept form. \n" ); document.write( "------------- \n" ); document.write( "y = –x + 6 is in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m = slope and b = the y-intercept. \n" ); document.write( "---------- \n" ); document.write( "The slope of y = –x + 6 is -1 \n" ); document.write( "Parallel lines have the same slope, so the line thru (-4,2) will have a slope of -1 also. \n" ); document.write( "Use y = mx + b and the point to find b \n" ); document.write( "2 = -1*(-4) + b \n" ); document.write( "b = -2 \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "--> y = -x - 2 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
