Question

How do I find an equation in standard form of the line parallel to the line with the equation
-3x + 8y =10

Answer 1

y = (3/8)x + C

Answer 2

Ax + By = C is standard form

Answer 3

hey toobulkeh

Answer 4

since it is parallel then : -3/8 so the slope is -3/8

Answer 5

hey kevin

right rook, so -3 A, 8 is B and 10 is C. If you adjust C, the line moves up and down the graph, and retains the same behavior (slope) as your original equation.

Answer 6

the slope of ur equation is 3/8 , so if u want to have a line parallel, as long as ur slope is 3/8, it does not matter what ur C is, in this case, the y-intercept 10 can be any value

Answer 7

Rook, please reply here instead of direct messaging me.

Answer 8

K / how do I do the sameequation -3x +8y =10 and passing through the point (4,0)

Answer 9

a point is a coordinate pair, (x,y), so you can set X = 4 and Y = 0 and see what the value is for C that you get.

Answer 10

-3 (4) + 8(0) = C

Answer 11

Then just re-write it by using that C in your original equation.

Thank you for the help !
