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

y=4/3x+8

y=4/3x+3

y=-3/4x+8

y=-3/4x+3

Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 4x − 3y = −12 and passes through the point (−3, 4).

y=4/3x+8

y=4/3x+3

y=-3/4x+8

y=-3/4x+3

anonymous · Answer

what does parallel tell you about the slope of the line you are trying to figure out?

anonymous · Answer

That they have the same slope.

anonymous · Answer

exactly, so now you know the slope which is?

anonymous · Answer

-3?

anonymous · Answer

rearrange the equation of the given line into the standard form, y=mx+b

anonymous · Answer

where m is the slope

anonymous · Answer

?

anonymous · Answer

4x − 3y = −12
becomes
-3y=-12-4x

now divide by -3 what do you get?

anonymous · Answer

Divide what by -3?

anonymous · Answer

divide both sides by -3... so divide the -3y by -3, and the -12-4x by -3

anonymous · Answer

what will you be left with?
