Write the equation of the line that passes through the given point and is parallel to the given line. Your answer should be written in slope-intercept form.
P(-8,4), Y + 2X = -16
I have no idea how to solve these, would appreciate a few steps! Thank you! Answer by erica65404(394) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Problem 1:
The first thing you need to do is solve for y.
next you need need to make a new equation that is perpendicular.
To make an equation perpendicular, you take the slope and inverse it and multiply it by a -1.
The perpendicular slope is .
your new equation is
to find b, plug in the point they gave you. (-4,3)
The answer is
Problem 2:
Solve for y.
parallel equations have the same slope.
so your new equation will be
plug in the point they gave you to find b. (-8,4)
Your answer is
