Question

Write the equation of a line parallel to the line 2x + 3y = 5 and passes through the point (9, -3)
A.-2/3x+3
b.-2/3x+5/3
c.y=2x-21
d.y=-2/3x-9

Answer 1

it is A

Answer 2

two lines are said to be parallel only if their slopes are equal......
equation of a line in point slope form is......
(y-y1)=m*(x-x1).......
where m is the slope and(x1,y1) is the point thriugh which the line passes..

Answer 3

so rearrange the equation 2x + 3y = 5
3y = -2x + 5
y = -2/3x +5/3
so the gradient/slope is -2/3 and so now we can sub it in the equation of line formula because we have the point (9,-3) as well.
try sub those in (y-y1)=m*(x-x1)

Answer 4

I really dont have a clue on how to solve it
