Question

Write the equation of the line that is parallel to the line 4x − 3y = −12 and passes through the point (−3, 4).

y = four thirdsx + 8

y = four thirdsx + 3

y = −three fourthsx + 8

y = −three fourthsx + 3

Answer 1

what is the slope of the equation?

Answer 2

is it (-3,4)

Answer 3

okay y=?

Answer 4

y=4/3

Answer 5

no...

Answer 6

idk then what is it??

Answer 7

4x-3y=-12
or 3y=4x+12
of y=4/3x+4

so the slope is 4/3
get it?

Answer 8

wait is that the answer?

Answer 9

no ...

Answer 10

so what is the answer?

Answer 11

y-4=4/3(x+3)
or y=4/3x+8

Answer 12

thanks!!

Answer 13

do u understand?

Answer 14

kinda i have another question?

Answer 15

ok

Answer 16

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the line 3x + y = 7 and passes through the point (6, −1).

Answer 17

find the slope first...

Answer 18

the slpoe is (6,-1) right??

Answer 19

no...

Answer 20

is it -3,7

Answer 21

3x+y=7
or y=-3x+7
so the slope is -3

Answer 22

oh so okay what do i do after that ??

Answer 23

Hi! Let me catch up, and then I'll be able to help!

Answer 24

Hi!

First I'll lay out how to solve this problem. You've already made progress.

You want to find a line perpendicular to the original line. By definition, you want a line that has a slope that's a reciprocal of the original line's.

Answer 25

So you found the original line's slope with souvik's help.

Do you know what the slope is?
