Question

Find equations of the lines passing through (-2,4) and having the following characteristics. 
a) Slope of 7/16
b) parallel to the line 5x-3y=3
c) Passing through the origin.
d) Parallel to the y-axis

a) You know y= mx + b, you are given the slope.. m= 7/16 so now just plug in a know point with x and y values (-2,4) to find b (the point where the line crosses the y-axis)

y = (7/16)x + b
4 = (7/16) (-2) + b
 
Solve for b, and the equation of your line should be y= (7/16)x + (insert value of b here)
