Question

write an equation for a line that passes through (4, -12) and is parallel to 4x+3y=12.

Answer 1

For parallel equations, we have to use the same slope as the given equation.
In your equation, 4x + 3y = 12
convert it into y = mx + b format:
3y = -4x + 12
y = -4/3x + 4
We know the slope is -4/3
Now use teh equation:
(y-y1) = m (x-x1)
But substituting the given values:
(x1,y1) = (4,-12)
and m = -4/3
