Write an equation of the line that is parallel to 2x + 4y = 6 and passes through the point (6, 4).A) y = 2x + 4 B) y = 2x - 8 C) y = -2x + 16 D) y = -1/2 + 7will mark brainliest if correct and give 50 pts.
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:The equation is y = - 1/2 x+7Step-by-step explanation:2 x + 4y = 6 4y = -2 x +6 Divide both sides by 4 y = - 1/2 x + 3/2 y=mx+b slope m = - 1/2 The slope of a line parallel to another line will be the same
The slope of the required line will be - 1/2 m= - 1/2 ,point ( 6 , 4 )
Plugging the values of m and the point in y=mx+b 4 = -3 + b b= 7 m= - 1/2 Plug values y = mx +b y = - 1/2 x+7
