Question

Find the equation of a straight line that passes through the point (2,4) and is parallel to the line 2x+3y-8=0

Answer 1

first, find the slope of the line:
clue: Slope (m) of the equation of a straight line is same as the slope of 2x+3y-8=0, since they are parallel.

second, plug the slope in y=mx+b (slope intercept form)

third, using the given point (2,4) find the y-intercept of the equation (b)

lastly, rewrite the slope(m) and y-int(b) into y=mx+b (slope intercept form).

Answer 2

Okay I'll try that thanks!!
