Question

Write an equation of the line
containing the given point and
parallel to the given line.

(9,-5); 4x-3y=2

How do I go about doing this?

Answer 1

Hmmmm

Answer 2

First get your equation into that nice fancy y-intercept.. form.. or whatever it's called.
y=mx+b

Then we'll notice something interesting :o

Answer 3

-3y=4x+2?

Answer 4

Woops you need to subtract 4x from both sides to move it to the right :)

Answer 5

4x-3y=2-4x right?

Answer 6

Ok take a look at that and lemme know if it makes sense.
