Question

write an equation of the line containing the given point and parallel to the given line. (2,-8); 4x-7y=6

Answer 1

\[y=\frac{4}{7}x-\frac{64}{7}\]

Answer 2

parallel lines same slope i.e
7/ 4
put it into y=mx+c
-8 = 7/4 ( 2) +c
c= - 11 1/2
y = 7/4 x - 23/2

Answer 3

parallel lines have the same slope asadkarim7. Perpendicular lines have inverse slopes

Answer 4

thank you both of you! beehive that was the correct answer, you saved my life. lol
