Write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. 3 -1 in parenthess 9x -7y 4 Simplify type in the from of ymx b. Thank?
This is simple algebra. You should know that parallel lines have the same slope. So you would take the slope of the line that is given to you and set it up in the equation y= mx + b. m stand for your slope and you would take the point that it gives you (3, -1) and plug it into y = mx + b (along with your slope) and solve for b..once you've solved for b, you can set up your equation because you know your slope (m) and y-intercept (b). If you are having trouble finding the slope, just solve the equation for y. Get y on one side of the equation. The number that is with x will be your slope. Good luck!
What is a quadrilateral with two pairs of equal sides but no parallel ones?
A kite would fit the given description
What is the locus of points at a given distance of a line?
The locus of points at a given distance to a line would be a line parallel to the first line. Assuming that both lines are straight.
Do parallel line segments have to be the same length?
no, if they are both in the same plane and IF EXTENDED INDEFINITELY would never intersect at any point then the segments are considered parallel.
Does the equation 6y equals 18x represent a direct variation?
Yes. 6y = 18x can be cancelled down to y = 3x. If drawn on a graph, the gradient of the straight line at any given point would be 3. The line also crosses the point (0, 0) [the origin]
If the equation of a line has an undefined slope and passes through the point 1 3 which form would be used to write the equation of the line?
x = 1 (the line intersects the x-axis at 1, and is parallel to the y-axis)We cannot write the equation on the Slope-intercept form, since the slope of the line is undefined. 1 is the x-coordinate of any point on the given line.
Can you write the equation of a line with one point on the line?
No, you need either two points, one point and a slope, one point and a y-intercept, or a y-intercept an a slope. You can also write the equation of a line with an equation of another line but you would have to know if it is parallel or perpendicular.
Which point lies on the line described by the equation below?
That of course would depend on the straight line equation that has not been given and so therefore an answer is not possible.
What is parallel to y equals 2x 5?
All lines that have the same slope are parallel to each other. To determine which lines are parallel to the give equation, you must first have to determine the slope of the equation. Notice that your equation is written in y = mx + b form, where m represents slope. In this case, m = 2. Any equation with a slope of 2 is parallel to your given line. For examples of lines that would be parallel, the following are all parallel: y = 2x y = 2x + 1 y = 2x + 2 y = 2x + 100

How do you write an equation in slope intercept form with a given point?
Slope Intercept form is meant for a line, so if you know the slope m in the equation y=mx+b then with a given point say (3,4) and say the slope of the line was 2 then the equation would read y=2x+4.
Which choice would be the equation of a parallel to the line represented by this equation y2x-3?
If you mean y = 2x-3 then the parallel equation will have the same slope of 2 but with a different y intercept
What is the equation of a line that passes through the point -1 5 and is parallel to the y-axis?
For a line to be parallel to the y-axis it must be a vertical line. therefore in order for the line to pass through the point (-1,5) you need to only be concerned with the x value of the point and your line would be x=-1.
What would happen if parallel lines weren't parallel?
They would 'intersect'. ('cross', have one point in common)
How do you write an equation for a horizontal line?
You would need a point ex: (4,5) y=5 if its a horizontal line you just write y=(value of y on the given point)
Are 2 lines have no common point is always parallel?
In a 2 dimensional plain they would have to be parallel in order to have no common point; in a 3 dimensional field they do not have to be parallel.
What would a graph look like if the equation was x equals 3?
It would look like a straight vertical line, i.e. parallel to the y-axis, passing through the point on the x-axis where x=3.
