Question

Any help would be great, Can not figure this problem out!

Write an equation of the line containing the given point parallel to the given line (-8,4);2x=3y+4

Answer 1

parallel lines are the same equations; only the constant changes

Answer 2

(-8,4) ; 2x=3y+4

2x=3y+4 ; remove the constant, that +4 and replace it with an unknown

2x=3y+C ; now calibrate it with the given point (x=-8, y=4)

2(-8)=3(4)+C

-16 = 12 + C
-12 -12
-------------
-28 = C

2x = 3y -28 ; and put it into whatever form of line equation in calls for now

Answer 3

it has to be in y=mx+b format
