Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 4x − 3y = −12 and passes through the point (−3, 4).

Question

radar · Answer

rewrite the line in slope intercept form y=(4/3)x+4  so the slope is a 4/3 and so will the slope of the line that will be parallel.

thanks

radar · Answer

The given point is (-3,4) so we use the slope formula again:
4          y-4
--- =  -----
 3          x-(-3)
4x+12=3y-12
3y=4x + 24
y=(4/3)(x)+8

that is the equation for the parallel line, parallel to4x-3y=-12 and passes through (-3,4)
