## anonymous 3 years ago Choose the slope-intercept equation of the line that passes through the point (–2, 2) and is parallel to y = 4x + 7.

1. anonymous

first thing is first, do you understand the slop intersecept concept?

2. anonymous

y = 4x + 10 y = 1/4 x + 5/2 y = -4x - 6 y = – 1/4 x + 3/2

3. anonymous

somewhat

4. anonymous

$\frac{ \Delta y }{ \Delta x }$

5. anonymous

that is the change of y, over the change of x

6. anonymous

so type the equation using $\frac {\Delta y} {\Delta x}$

7. anonymous

8. anonymous

lets take you last answer and try it. okay?

9. anonymous

okay

10. anonymous

$\frac {\Delta y} {\Delta x}$ $y=\frac {-1} {4}x + \frac {3} {2}$

11. anonymous

2/6

12. anonymous

but first you have to find the y

13. anonymous

so find the why first.

14. anonymous

wouldn't it be 2? -1+3

15. anonymous

yup! that 's correct, now fill in $\frac {\Delta y} {\Delta x}$

16. anonymous

I still stick with my guess of 2/6

17. anonymous

I know that my answer isn't correct, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong

18. anonymous

no, you have to fill out the equation. use the equation button to fill it out

19. anonymous

20. anonymous

im sorry i just dont get it

21. anonymous

okay, put the answer you got for y, in the $\Delta y$ and then what you got for x in the $\Delta x$

22. anonymous

can you show me?

23. anonymous

yeah. give me your x and your y first and i'll show you.

24. anonymous

2/6

25. anonymous

26. anonymous

i would say that 2 is my x and 6 is my y but im assuming that isn't correct

27. anonymous

how about we start on the actual problem, it would be alot less confusing.

28. anonymous

ok

29. anonymous

so show me the $\frac {\Delta y} {\Delta x}$ with the shown intergers

30. anonymous

I'm sorry but I really don't understand any of this. Can you tell me the answer and explain why it's so?

31. anonymous

wow i just realized something, you just have to graph the equation and then plot the points. -.-

32. anonymous

yeahh lol i think we do too

33. anonymous

so graph them and tell me what you get. BTW: try answers b and c. :D

34. anonymous

C?

35. anonymous

:D correct.

36. anonymous

37. anonymous

38. anonymous

#2

39. anonymous

brb for 5 mins

40. anonymous

Thanks!

41. anonymous

NP!
