The equation of line ab is y = 2x + 4. write an equation of a line parallel to line ab in slope-intercept form that contains point (3, −2). (4 points) y = 2x + 4 y = negative 1 over 2 x − 1 over 2 y = − 1 over 2 x − 7 over 2 y = 2x − 8

ANSWER

EXPLANATION

To find the equation of a straight line, we need the slope and a point on that line.

We were given the equation of another line that will help us determine the slope . The given line has equation:

This equation is of the form

where

Since our line of interest is parallel to this line, their slopes are the same.

The line also contains the point (3,-2).

So we substitute the slope and point into the slope-intercept formula:

The required equation is

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
