  • Slope of a line

    1870 Slope of a Parallel Line If the lines ax-y=6 and 4x+(a+4)y=-6 are parallel, what is a=? If these lines are parallel, their slopes should be equal. And slope is calculated by dividing the coefficient of x in an equation written for y.

  • solving system of linear equations and linear inequalities

    When two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal. So (a) and (d) are parallel since both their slopes are -6.

  • Determine if the following pairs of lines parallel, perpendicular or neither.

    Answer: Parallel L1 with equation x + 2y = 6 and L2 through (0,3) and (9,0) We can write x + 2y = 6 as y = -1/2x + 3 Slope of line L1 = -1/2 Slope of line L2 = (0 - 3)/(9 - 0) = -3/9 = -1/3 Since the slopes of both the lines are not

  • Finding Equations of Lines

    To solve for b, we use the point that we are given and substitute them into x and y. So, x = -4, y = 6, and m = 5.

  • Vectors and Parametric Equations of Lines

    In parametric form, the equation is given by x=-2+3t, y=4+t, z=10-8t. The line is parallel to the vector given by . Hence the equation in parametric form is x=6+4t, y=1-3t, z=-3-8t.

  • Finding A Parallel Line To y = -3x - 6.

    When two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal. so the slope of line y = -3x - 6 is m = -3.

  • Converting linear equations to slope-intercept form

    Now divide by -3 to finish applying rule 1, and get y entirely by itself: -3y/(-3) = (-x + 6)/(-3) -3y/(-3) = -x/(-3) + 6/(-3) y = 1/3x + -2 I could change the last line to y = 1/3x - 2, but it'll be easier to keep the + sign.
