Question

write equation of the line containing the given point and parelle to the fiven line (6,-5);2x-7y=4

Answer 1

as the lines are parallel, they have the same slope.
2x-7y=4
2x-4=7y
(2/7)x-(4/7)=y
so m=2/7

Also, the line contain (6,-5) then:
y-(-5) = m (x - 6)
y+5= (2/7) (x-6)
7y + 35 = 2x - 12
2x - 7y = 47

Answer 2

i dont understand what the equation would be then???

Answer 3

are all the same playing with the algebra. You can write y+5= (2/7) (x-6)
or 2x - 7y = 47 is the same
