Question

write an equation of the line containing the given point and parrallel to the given line. xpress in y=mx+b. (-3,3) 2x= 3y+8. HELP ME

Answer 1

parallel lines have same slope

Answer 2

use point slope to find the parallel equation and then convert to slope-intercept

point slope: (y-y1)=m(x-x1)

Answer 3

how do you get it to slope- intervept form?

Answer 4

y = mx + b

Answer 5

which would be m?

Answer 6

2x= 3y+8
3y = 2x - 8
y = (2/3) x - (8/3)
so slope (m) = 2/3

Answer 7

is this the equation. y-3= 2/3 (x-(-3)) for point slope ?

Answer 8

yup

Answer 9

simplify it if you wish

Answer 10

how do i simplify ?

Answer 11

Thanks
