Write an equation in standard form for vertex(6,1) passing through the point (4,5)

8m - 6 =2(4m - ????
You are trying to fetch the common part from the equation.
Let's know what is 2 here? It is the common part right?
Now dividing 2 from 8 and 6.
What the process left behind??
It is - 4 and 3

So the final equation you are looking for is:
8m-6=2(4m-3)

Let's break this down into a few parts first.

Slope intercept form is otherwise known as y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.
Parallel means that the two lines will never meet. They are parallel to each other. In math terms, their slopes are the same, so the m values must be the same.

Starting with y = -5x + 1, putting into slope intercept form, y = mx + b, m = -5 and b=1.

Since it is parallel, it must have the same slope and the m values are the same.

So, y = -5x + b, but we don't know what the value of b is. To determine this, we know the point (-4,-6) is on the line that we are trying to find, so we can substitute it into the equation and calculate b to make it work.

Every time we see an x we put in -4 and every time we see a y, we put in -6.

-6 = -5(-4) + b
-6 = 20 + b
subtract 20 from both sides
-6 - 20 = 20 + b - 20
-26 = b
Now substitute this into the equation.

y = -5x + -26
Putting it into correct form, we get y = -5x - 26.

Let's check it to see if it is correct.

It has a slope of -5, so it is parallel to y=-5x + 1

Is the point (-4,-6) on the line? Let's substitute it in to see if it is on the line.

Again, everywhere we see an x, we put in -4 and everywhere we see a y we put in -6.

-6 = -5(-4) - 26
-6 = 20 - 26
-6 = -6

Sorry for the very long explanation, but after you do a few of them, you will be able to knock them off in minutes.

Good luck,

A math teacher might know the answer to that one. Do you know a math teacher you could ask?

http://www.regentsprep.org/regents/math/algebra/AC1/EqLines.htm

Use this to figure out the answer i suck at math or i would help

Calcualte the slope of the line as
a=(7-(-11))/(10-(-5))=18/15=6/5
Use the fact that the line passes through one of the two points, for example (10,7)
7=(6/5)*10+b=12+b
Obtain b as b=7-12=-5
The equation of the line in functional form is y=(6/5)x-5
Multiply everything by 5 to clear the fraction
5y=6x-25 or 0=6x-5y-25
Finally, the equation in general form (standard?) is 6x-5y-25=0.

Check the calculation by verifying that the point (10,7) lies on the line.
6(10)-5(7)-25=60-35-25=60-60=0 CHECKed!
Check that the second point (-5,-11) lies on the line also (if you want to)
6*(-5)-5*(-11)-25=-30+55-25=0
That checks OK.

Hi there,

Say you have an equation x = 2y.

On a graph, you plot the points representing the values that fit into the equation.

X Y
2 1
4 2
6 3
etc.

And to throw a curve in there:
X Y
-2 -1
-4 -2
-6 -3

If have further questions repost, I'll be around for a while.

Hope it helps

Allan is 19 and Roy is 13.

Solution:

First we have 2 variables, their ages: I used Allan = x & Roy = y
Equation 1: X - 4 = 2*(Y-4) - 3
We can ignore the 5 years in the second part of the statement. Allan will always be 6 years older than Roy whether it be 5 years from now or ten years form now.
Equation 2: X = Y + 6

Substitute Y + 6 for X in equation 1:
X - 4 = 2*(Y-4) - 3 becomes Y + 6 - 4 = 2*(Y-4) - 3
That simplifies to Y + 2 = 2Y - 8 - 3
Rewrite it again: Y + 2 = 2Y - 11
Add 11 to both sides: Y + 13 = 2Y
Subtract Y from both sides: 13 = Y

Now plug 13 in for y in Equation 2
X = Y + 6
X = 13 + 6
X = 19

V (2,0) and Focus (2,2)
since the focus is 2 units above the vertex, the parabola opens upward

vertex (h,k)
a is the focal length (distance between the vertex and the focus)
a = 2
(2 units above the vertex)

(x-h)^2 = 4a (y-k)
(x-2)^2 = 4(2) (y-0)
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 8 (y)
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 8y
x^2 - 4x - 8y + 4 = 0

**Answer: "(x-2)^2 = 8 (y)" or in expanded form "x^2 - 4x - 8y +4"

Divide the first equation by 2, the second by 6 (i.e. the number that comes before the x)
