Question

Anyway, I am stuck on this problem..Can you please help me?
Don't just do the problem though, Teach me how 2 do it please!
Here it is:
Write in slope intercept form the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the given point.

#1. y = 2x - 11, (3,4)

Thank You And I Love You Forever!Teehee
:D

Sorry i had to post this here, no1 really answered this question in the homework help section. :/

Answer 1

Slope-intercept form is

y = mx + b

where m is the slope of the line.

Your given line has a slope of 2, so your new line will also.

y = 2x + b

We have to find the value for b. Since your new line passes through (3, 4), we have

4 = 2 * 3 + b
4 = 6 + b
b = -2

Your line is

y = 2x - 2

Answer 2

OK, your slope is 2, and any parallel line will have that slope. First we get the equation of the desired line by setting up the ratio

(y - 4)/(x - 3) = 2.

This assures that our line is parallel to the original. Now, putting the equation into slope-intercept form:

(y - 4) = 2(x - 3)
y - 4 = 2x - 6

y = 2x - 2

Answer 3

the equation given is in slope intercept form already so you know that the slope of a line parallel to that line is the same so the slope of the other line is also two. then you just have to find out your y intercept. to do that you just have to fill in your slope into your equation:
y = mx + b
y = 2x + b
then you fill in for x and y
4 = 2 (3) + b
solve for b
4 = 6+ b
-6 -6
-2 = b
then all you have to do is plug the -2 into your slope intercept equation
y=2x -2

Answer 4

"parallel" means the same slope.
The slope of "y = 2x-11" is 2 (it is the "m" in y=mx+b)

So the line you are looking for satisfies the equation
y = 2x+b

To finish the problem, you plug in the values for the point you want it to go through:
(x,y) = (3,4)
which means x = 3 and y = 4

substitution gives you
4 = 2*3 + b
therefore b = 4-2*3 = 4-6 = -2

So, y = 2x-2 is the answer

Answer 5

because the line is parallel to the given equation, the gradient would be the same, therefore
y=2x + a where a is constant
Then, substitute in the given point:
4 = 6 +a
By equating the equation, a = -2
Thus the final equation is
y=2x-2

Answer 6

since you are given both a slope and a point you can put the point into the equation y-(y coordinate)=slope*(x-(x coordinate))
since 2 is your slope, your x coordinate is 3 and your y coordinate is 4, have the equation:
y-4=2(x-3).
then solve for y and you get y=2x-2.

Answer 7

(3,4) repersent cordinets on a graph. there are always paired as (x,y), There for you can plug 3 in for x and 4 in for y and solve. y=mx+b is the slope formula. this quation will help you plot a line on a graph

Answer 8

y = 2x + b

4 = (2*3) + b
4 = 6 + b
b + -2

y = 2x - 2
