Question 626564: 1. Find the value of b so that 3x-2y=4 is parallel to 6x+by=12
2. Find the value of c so that x-3y=c will pass through (2,-1) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. Find the value of b so that 3x-2y=4 is parallel to 6x+by=12
The slopes must be the same.
1st equation has a slope of 3/2
2nd equation has aslope of -6/b
Solve: -6/b = 3/2
b = -4
=====================
2. Find the value of c so that x-3y=c will pass through (2,-1)
When x = 2, y must be -1.
x - 3y = c
2 - 3*-1 = c
2 + 3 = c
c = 5
