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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

That they have the same slope.

Answer 3

exactly, so now you know the slope which is?

Answer 4

-3?

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

where m is the slope

Answer 7

?

Answer 8

4x − 3y = −12
becomes
-3y=-12-4x

now divide by -3 what do you get?

Answer 9

Divide what by -3?

Answer 10

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

Answer 11

what will you be left with?

Answer 12

1 and I don't know the other one.
