Question

Write the equation of a line parallel to the line 2x+3y=5 and passes through the point (9,-3)

Answer 1

parallel lines differ at most by a constant

Answer 2

2x+3y=5

is parallel to

2x+3y=k

input the given (x,y) values to determine the value of k

Answer 3

I'm still lost >.<

Answer 4

how?

Answer 5

Cause I can't figure out the answer

Answer 6

K = 5 I understand that much of what you wrote

Answer 7

not quite ... K is some constant that needs to be determined by the point they give you.

parallel lines SHARE much of the same equation, so they look almost exactly alike except of that K value

Answer 8

Oh ok so how do I figure out the answer

Answer 9

2x + 3y = 5

is parallel to

2x + 3y = K ; use the point (x,y) they give you to define the K

do you know how to read a point?

Answer 10

Yes

Answer 11

then use the x and y value from the given point and work the multiplication and addition

Answer 12

Yea now I'm lost again can you please just answer my question its the last question I need

Answer 13

2x + 3y = K ; the given point is (9,-5)

2(9) + 3(-5) = K

18 - 15 = K

Answer 14

So 3= k

Answer 15

yes, which allows us to finish the line equation as:

2x + 3y = 3

Answer 16

Actually it's a -3 not a -5 for the equation

Answer 17

So technically it's 9
