find an equation of the line passing through the point (-2,4) and parallel to the line given by the equation 2x-3y=11, write your answer in slope intercept form.

Question

anonymous · Answer

parallel lines have the same slope, so if we re-write your given equation in form:
y=2/3 x -11/3
your slope will be 2/3
right?

anonymous · Answer

now, to pass through he point (-2,4) means:
y-4=2/3 (x-(-2))

anonymous · Answer

Their initial equation was 2x-3y=11

anonymous · Answer

or y=2x/3  +16/3
see it?

anonymous · Answer

I re-wrote give eq as follow (slope-intercept form):
-3y=11-2x
y=2/3 x -11/3
