Example Question #32 :Parallel Lines
Which of the following equations gives a line that is parallel to the line with the equation?
Two lines are parallel when they have the same slope. Because the slope of the given line is, the slope to a line parallel to it must also be. The only answer choice that has a slope ofis, so it is the correct answer.
Example Question #33 :Parallel Lines
一个line has the equation. If a second line goes through the pointand is parallel to the first line, what is the equation of this second line?
The slope of the second line must be如果这两条线是平行的。
To find the equation of this second line, just plug in the given point into the standard formequation to find its-intercept.
Now we have all the parts needed to write the equation for the second line:
Example Question #34 :Parallel Lines
Lineis parallel to lineand goes through the point. The equation for lineis. Find the equation of line.
Since linesandare parallel, the slope of linemust also be. Now, plug the given point into the equationto find the-intercept of line:
Thus, the equation of lineis
Example Question #1 :Coordinate Geometry
有一个定义的线方程如下:
There is a second line that passes through the pointand is parallel to the line given above. What is the equation of this second line?
Parallel lines have the same slope. Solve for the slope in the first line by converting the equation to slope-intercept form.
3x + 4y = 12
4y =–3x + 12
y =–(3/4)x + 3
slope =–3/4
We know that the second line will also have a slope of–3/4, and we are given the point (1,2). We can set up an equation in slope-intercept form and use these values to solve for the y-intercept.
y = mx + b
2 =–3/4(1) + b
2 =–3/4 + b
b = 2 + 3/4 = 2.75
Plug the y-intercept back into the equation to get our final answer.
y =–(3/4)x + 2.75
Example Question #1 :How To Find The Equation Of A Parallel Line
What is the equation of a line that is parallel toand passes through?
解决,我们将需要找到李的斜率ne. We know that it is parallel to the line given by the equation, meaning that the two lines will have equal slopes. Find the slope of the given line by converting the equation to slope-intercept form.
The slope of the line will be. In slope intercept-form, we know that the line will be. Now we can use the given point to find the y-intercept.
The final equation for the line will be.
Example Question #1 :Coordinate Geometry
What line is parallel toand passes through the point?
Start by converting the original equation to slop-intercept form.
The slope of this line is. A parallel line will have the same slope. Now that we know the slope of our new line, we can use slope-intercept form and the given point to solve for the y-intercept.
Plug the y-intercept into the slope-intercept equation to get the final answer.
Example Question #201 :Coordinate Geometry
What is the equation of a line that is parallel to the lineand includes the point?
The line parallel tomust have a slope of, giving us the equation. To solve forb, we can substitute the values foryandx.
Therefore, the equation of the line is.
Example Question #1 :How To Find The Equation Of A Parallel Line
What line is parallel to, and passes through the point?
将给定的斜截式we get the following equation:
For parallel lines, the slopes must be equal, so the slope of the new line must also be. We can plug the new slope and the given point into the slope-intercept form to solve for the y-intercept of the new line.
Use the y-intercept in the slope-intercept equation to find the final answer.
Example Question #1 :How To Find The Equation Of A Parallel Line
What line is parallel toat?
None of the answers are correct
Find the slope of the given line:(slope intercept form)
therefore the slope is
Parallel lines have the same slope, so now we need to find the equation of a line with slopeand going through pointby substituting values into the point-slope formula.
So,
Thus, the new equation is
Example Question #1 :Coordinate Geometry
If the line through the points (5, –3) and (–2,p) is parallel to the liney= –2x– 3, what is the value ofp?
4
–10
11
0
–17
11
Since the lines are parallel, the slopes must be the same. Therefore, (p+3) divided by (–2–5) must equal–2. 11 is the only choice that makes that equation true. This can be solved by setting up the equation and solving for p, or by plugging in the other answer choices for p.
