Nothing is parallel until it has something else to be parallel to.
What you have so far is the sound of one hand clapping.
Your equation is parallel to any other equation that says
y = -4x plus any other number besides 6
They are parallel lines.
if -4x+6=38 what x=
6
-6x-6 -or- -6(x+1)
4x + 2 + 6 = 2 4x + 8 = 2 4x = -6 x = -6/4 = -3/2
They are parallel lines.
if -4x+6=38 what x=
6
-6x-6 -or- -6(x+1)
No because the slope in both lines have different values
4x + 2 + 6 = 2 4x + 8 = 2 4x = -6 x = -6/4 = -3/2
4x+32=-4x+16x4x+32=12x-4x -4x32=8x/8 /84=x
Then the straight line equation is: y = -4x+6
6x+4 = x+12+4x-6 6x-x-4x = 12-6-4 x = 2
x=5
No. Substitute the value 8 for x, and you have 4x +6 = 4(8) +6 = 32 +6 = 38.
x = 1 and y = 6 so the lines intersect at the point (1, 6)
