Question

IMPORTANT LINE RELATED EQUATIONS TO KNOW AND MEMORIZE

slope formula
m= slope/ gradiant -- same thing
$$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$$

standard formula
$$Ax+By=C$$

point-slope formula
$$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$$

slope-intercept formula
b= y-intercept -- in the form of (0,y)

$$y=mx+b$$

anonymous · Answer

parallel line means that they share the same slope

anonymous · Answer

i know there's a formula for this type of problem but i don't remember it..

primeralph · Answer

you've been given all you need.

anonymous · Answer

is it the point slope formula he posted?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

use slope intercept to determine the slope of the line

anonymous · Answer

then use point slope in order to determine the equation of the parallel line that passes through the point

anonymous · Answer

okay! i can do that.:) thank you

raden · Answer

alternative :
the equation of straight line which parallel to line ax+by=c and crosses the point (x1,y1) is ax + by = a(x1) + b(y1)

so, it is 2x - 3y = 2(-2) - 3(-4)
simplied, becomes 2x - 3y = 8
